Worked since 10.2
This is not new to Panther. It's worked since OS X 10.2. However, I don't find this to be a great solution, because after logging in, and providing your credentials if necessary, you'll get all your mounts open as windows because the system thinks they are folders (which in a sense they are) I can only speak for myself, but I find a bunch of windows opening at log-in very annoying. n my case, I have up to 8 server mounts, so that means 8 open windows! (guess that's one reason why they made Exposé, huh?)
The bottom line is that Apple has still not provided a simple way to have servers mount at log-in without having them pop open as windows. It befuddles me why they keep leaving this out of every version of OS X, but oh well.
Worked since 10.2
I use this Applescript to close all server mount windows when booting;
Use Applescript
What happens if the share is not available? I login through a LAN IP at work but from home a from my gateway IP to the server behind the router.
I have never used this method but have (and still do ) use an applescript to automate the connect and login. I keep the scripts in a folder I drag to the Dock and can launch as easily as any app. I also have a script to log me into the company file server as the 'owner' to allow doing admin easily.
For security I compile the script as run only. I can not vouch for the possibility cracking this but someone would have to have access to the applet to do it anyway. The only thing I would like to add is to dismiss the login message window. Should be easy but I don't know the commands to do that. Dismiss with 'okay' but I can not target the window so I have not made any progress there
with timeout of 180 seconds
tell application "Finder"
try
--replace [] and contents as noted
mount volume "afp://[server IP or NS name]/[share name]" as user name ¬
"[include the user name]" with password "[include password]"
end try
end tell
end timeout

This is great, except that, for me, it only works for admin users. Any ideas to get all users working? |
