This script toggles the mount condition of one of my hard disks. I
only use the disk for backups, but some programs (e.g., Netscape)
needlessly spin up the disk when they launch. Unmounting the disk at
login prevents programs from doing that. The script also remounts
the disk if it was not mounted.
It usually works fine as a compiled script on my desktop, but often
it needlessly tries to launch Classic (what's that? :-).
If I open the script in Script Editor and run it from there, it does
not try to start Classic.
try
tell application "Finder"
eject disk "MacxHD1"
end tell
on error -- it must already be unmounted
try
-- use your device name here, found via "disktool -l"
do shell script "disktool -m disk0s2"
-- display dialog result -- display the result (optional)
on error theError
display dialog theError
end try
end try
How do I prevent it from starting Classic?
Jeff
