Safely Remove Hardware Script

Is there a batch command to initiate a "safely remove hardware" request that
normally would come from clicking on the appropriate icon in the systems
tray? If not, is there another scripting solution to do so - vbScript, Power
Shell, etc?

Thanks in advance!

--safely remove hardware.vbs--
set shell=createobject("wscript.shell")
shell.run "RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll"
--end file--
