How can I burn a CD from Ubuntu server (command line)

you can find info on burning iso's from the command line here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning#Burning%20a%20CD%20or%20DVD%20using%20Command%20Line%20tools

Thanks a lot for this link, but I had an issue blanking a CD-RW. I do not find all the information to be quite accurate, or at least the part for blanking CD's. Do you know if there is another way to burn a cd by command line without manually creating an iso of the data first?

as far as i am aware all burning applications like to have an .iso to burn from

this suggests that you have something open in the cdrw drive (a folder, a terminal or something), in essense its 'busy' because something else is still using that drive and thus it can't be blanked until its not busy.
