10.4: One way to automount SMB network shares
Not to pour cold water on this, but this information doesn't work very well for people with MacBooks and PowerBooks who frequently switch locations where these shares may or may not be available. For instance, if you're at the office and mount the share, but then leave to go home and you don't unmount these shares, they persist when you arrive at home and hang your Mac. Its a major oversight in OS X and how it handles network volumes.
In addition, its very rare that my MacBook Pro is "shut down" when I arrive at work each day. Usually, its sleeping, and this script does not help. There is a hint for sleeping and mounting here: [link:]http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20061224140933809&query=sleep%2Bshare%2Bsmb but in our testing, it just doesn't work very well. There's got to be a better solution out there!!!

All you gotta do for a graceful exit on failure (due to the shares not being available) is add a "try" statement to the script, like this: |
