Hey Christopher!

In OS 9.2.2, how would I check if a remote volume is mounted to the desktop?
I need to check if a volume is mounted, and if it is not, mount it.

Ok, what type of volume? What you could do is...

Save the below script as an Application and make sure it stays open. What it will do, it will try to mount the volume.
The reason we try to mount the volume is, if the volume is already mounted, it will error. So we use a try block.
Right now, it is set to run every 60 seconds (1 minute). So hopefully this works for you. This is for a volume being
mounted using SMB protocol. For another protocol, you will need to get the connection syntax, i.e. SMB is
smb://user:password@server_ip/what_tomount.

Good luck & let me know if this is successful for you.

property share_to_mount : " "

on idle()
my mount_volume()
return 60
end idle

on mount_volume()
try
mount volume "smb://" & user_of_machine & ":" & user_password & "@" & server_ip & "/" & share_to_mount
end try
end mount_volume
