Closing DVD tray remotely

I left iMac processing my iDVD project (it took hours..), then I checked from time to time using VNC (I installed OSXvnc on the iMac). But when all encoding finished, the iMac opened the tray asking for DVD disc to be written to. I already inserted the disc before I left, but I could not physically close the tray now. Here is the way to do it remotely:

Log in to the iMac using SSH (remember the user must have password for SSH login to be successful), then do this command:

drutil tray close

Do this several times to make sure it is closed.
