I’ve created an automount script, which will mount my music drive, which is on my windows PC; this will create a drive on my Mac desktop when I boot up. That was easy to do.
This only works if the PC is up and running first.
However, if not, I get an error. What I’d like to know is how I can write this exception handle into the script. So when error appears, stop the script running. At the moment I have to click the dialogue box which appears.
Can anyone provide me with some direction?
What kind of script is it? Can we (or I) see the code? Does the PC have a consistent (assigned) IP address?
I don't have much experience with shell scripts, but this looks like an easy, doable task 
.

The script is a .app file, and all I've done is added it to the start up sequence.
mount volume "smb://<Workgroup>;<My ID>@<Computername>/<Shared Folder>"
Just one simple line of code so far. I'm not using the PC IP address just to the workgroup name, but I suppose I could use that, but it won't be static, it's changed a few times in the past few months, probable because I've changed my router and added more PC's to the network.
Here's a possible solution: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...070202190047133
Use the Automator method, which fails gracefully (i.e. if it can't connect, nothing is mounted and there are no error boxes).
Still, I'd also like to find a way to modify the code you provided. I'll look into it!
-NC
Good find NC. Can't wait to make life easier. ; )
Thanks for link. I'll try playing around with it to see if i can get it to work, so far no joy....the folder won't mount for some reason. I know it's something I'm doing wrong.
