The version of Ubuntu I have (14.04.1) automatically mounts my digital camera and generates a box inviting me to say what to do with it. Since I was dissatisfied with all the options presented, I wrote a script which does exactly what I want, using gphoto2 to access the camera and get files from it. The one problem is that, even if I have specified 'do nothing' to the box, the camera remains mounted and thus, as far as gphoto2 is concerned, unavailable because not released. In order to release it I must open or find a folder display, and specifically eject the camera. I would rather not bother with this step and just let my script run. I am wondering if there is a way to do this.

If you do not want to fiddle with udev (which is a system thing), you can use the udisk interface to unmount the camera.
The camera will normally mount at a fixed place, like /media/user/1234-5678/ or similar (YMMV, depends on how the camera formats the card); and as a device, say /dev/sdc1/.
Now, you can unmount it from your script using
udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdc1
the problem is that the device can change; my solution is having this little magic
udisksctl unmount -b $(mount | grep 1234-5678 | cut -d" " -f1)
which will work provided that the card id doesn't change.

The camera (a Nikon Coolpix p90) is being connected via PTP. As a result it does not appear mounted on anything in /media, nor does it appear in mtab. This is a feature introduced with 14.04, I believe. In earlier versions of 14.04, many digital cameras could not be connected. The present arrangement seems to be patch. In order to 'release' the camera from gphoto2's point of view, I have to ask for a folder to be opened (that is, directory contents displayed in a window) and then 'eject' it. There is no obvious command-line way to do this.
