Title: Trapping errors on mount volume
Hello MacScripters

I am currently converting a script from Mac OS 9.2.2 to 10.3.6. This scripts dispatches files to different afp and smb volumes. I am trying to mount volume “silently”, i.e. without finder dialogs on error, so the script can trap them and react accordingly.

I have tried :
    try - on error - end construction
    with timeout of – end timeout
    shell script with mount_afp (in sh or bash)
    stay open classic applet (that would only respond to mount volume command)

The finder always pop up a error dialog when a network volume is missing and the scripts is waiting for an OK click to that finder dialog. (Error message translated from French : Connection failed. The server is not responding. Please retry.) This was working like a charm in 9.2.2 ! The mount_afp shell command reacts exactly the same way, which makes me believe that the finder is in fact using this command to mount a volume.

Il wouldn’t like to use OS X equivalent of OkDoKey or some GUI scripting to click OK , unless I have no other choice …

Any solution or work around would be greatly appreciated.
