Error message ejecting usb stick

Wed Oct 29, 2014 5:42 pm

I put a usb stick into my Pi and then looked at it with the file manager. When I was done I selected the Eject option and while it did in fact unmount, I got an error dialog: Error Starting Job: Failed to execute child process "eject" (No such file or directory). Anybody seen this and know how to correct it?

Thanks,

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install eject

The "eject" command is not installed as default.
