Title: Re: Mount AFP if Not already?
I use the below two handlers to mount volumes as the Finder ‘mount’ command is super flaky when trying to mount remote volumes. The downside is that you have to provide user and password credentials in the script, so there are security issues to consider.
The handler determines if the volume is mounted, if not, it makes a folder in /Volumes, then makes a mount point to it:
set needed_vols to {"VolumeName1", "VolumeName2"}
set serverpath to "afp://username:password@ServerIP/"
set NoOfTries to 5
persistentMount(needed_vols, serverpath, NoOfTries)
on persistentMount(vols_to_mount, Server_Path, max_tries)
set mounted_vols to list disks
set attempts to 0
repeat until (check_list_containment(vols_to_mount, mounted_vols))
repeat with vol in vols_to_mount
if mounted_vols does not contain vol then
set mount_url to (Server_Path & vol) as string
try
do shell script "mkdir -p /Volumes/" & quoted form of (vol as string)
do shell script "mount -t afp " & quoted form of mount_url & " /Volumes/" & quoted form of (vol as string)
on error errMsg number errNum
if errNum is -128 then error number -128
end try
end if
end repeat
set mounted_vols to list disks
if check_list_containment(vols_to_mount, list disks) then return
set attempts to attempts + 1
if (attempts > max_tries) then ¬
error ("ERROR: file server may be down. #persistentMount tried " & ¬
attempts & ¬
" times to mount the required servers" as string)
end repeat
end persistentMount
-- check if each item in aList is in aContainer
-- return false if not
on check_list_containment(aList, aContainer)
repeat with i in aList
if i is not in aContainer then return false
end repeat
return true
end check_list_containment

I am looking for an apple scrip tor application that will determine if X
afp share is mounted and if not mount it. Is there something like that
already out there or something we would have to script myself?
