No, it's a shell script.  If you're not comfortable with the command  
line, you may want to shy away from this one...

Create a text file, and put the following in it, replacing XXX with  
your volume name, and save the file somewhere:
 >>> begin
#!/bin/bash
diskutil unmount "/Volumes/XXX"
<<< end

In Terminal, do the following as an administrative user, entering  
your password when prompted:
     # sudo mv -i /path/to/that/file /etc/rc.local
     (if you get prompted to overwrite, say no and figure out why  
it's there!)
     # sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local

When your computer boots the next time, that script will run.
