Network scripting is not the right tool for this job.
Simon,
Now you see my problem. I normally use either a HD Toolkit or SCSI probe,
neither of which are scriptable. The 'mount volume' command is in Standard
Additions without any mention of being for use ONLY on a network.
At present we are using a partition on the d2 drive but we will soon be
re-formatting it into a single partition. I would still have the problem of
mounting the drive rather than a partition.
If you can suggest any 3rd party solutions I'll give them the once over.
I take it from your email that you're into Lasso as well?
Regards
George
