| Thanks, guys--
That's getting me onto the right track.
I have several disks daisy-chained into my FireWire port when my laptop is on my desk (TimeMachine's for one). I want to eject only the one named "Orange Clone" whenever it appears. Usually, I remember to eject and unplug it when I'm done with it. The problem comes up when I forget to unplug it. Then, the next time I take my laptop away and bring it back, it shows up with the rest.
That's why I'm thinking maybe a folder-action to eject it whenever it shows up. Then I'd need another procedure to actually mount it when I really want to use it.
And Phil-- Thanks for giving us access to your FastTasks 2. It looks very interesting. I'm still on 10.6, but its days are growing shorter.

tell application "Finder" to eject (every disk whose ejectable is true)
Like Paul, I also use that one liner.
There's a couple of ways you can deploy it: add it to FastScripts and give it a shortcut (if you use that app), or make an automator Service out of it and likewise give it a shortcut.
I rolled that and a number of other handy one-liners into a menu/status bar app of my own a couple of months back, which you and anyone else is welcome to check out and download (it's free, and it ain't got no ads neither), from here:
Best
