Hi, Todd:

Assuming that your 4 cd burners are configured as SCSI or SCSI emulation
and are channel 0, id 0, lun 0,1,2,3:

#!/bin/bash
#
# /usr/local/bin/burncd.sh
#

eject
cat /usr/local/bin/burncd.sh

echo ""
echo " First argument is <$1>."
echo "Second argument is <$2>."
echo ""

if [ -n $1 ] ; then
 if [ -n $2 ] ; then
  cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 fs=64M speed=$2 driveropts=burnproof gracetime=2 
$1 &
  cdrecord -v dev=0,0,1 fs=64M speed=$2 driveropts=burnproof gracetime=2 
$1 &
  cdrecord -v dev=0,0,2 fs=64M speed=$2 driveropts=burnproof gracetime=2 
$1 & 
  cdrecord -v dev=0,0,3 fs=64M speed=$2 driveropts=burnproof gracetime=2 $1
 else
  echo "Second argument is burn speed [1 - 52] and must not be null."
 fi
else
 echo ""
 echo "First argument is filename.ext and must not be null."
 echo ""
fi
eject
mount /mnt/cdrom
ls -l /mnt/cdrom
umount /mnt/cdrom
echo $1
badblocks -vc 256 /dev/cdrom
eject

HTH, Chuck
