Thanks Paul
However, I’m now confused.
The hdiutil man pages explicitly seem to say to NOT DETACH AN ACTION, but to
unmount a drive, the user should explicitly use the unmount command.
Should I use….
set shellScript to "hdiutil attach -verify -autofsck -mount required " & myPath
set tempAction to do shell script shellScript
do shell script "hdiutil unmount “ & tempAction
Very hard to test if action is attached or not?
Regards
Santa
