Use sleepwatcher to manage sleep and shared volumes
Authored by: hamarkus on Jun 08, '06 10:00:41AM

Does the second script fail gracefully if it cannot find the shares?

Ideally, it would only try to reconnect if it somehow confirmed that it was still on the same network (e.g. when the IP is the same or the MAC address of the DHCP server is the same).

Even more ideally, this should be build into the OS. However, failing gracefully is very important then. I remember the old days of OS 9 (or 8?) when waking the computer would be followed by a several minute-long almost freeze-like wait until the Finder gave up on reconnecting to a previously connected server.
