Mounting SMB Servers

Subject: Mounting SMB Servers

I have two approaches that work for mounting SMB servers. One is using NSTask to execute mount_smbfs and the other is using NSAppleScript to execute a mounting script generated on the fly. Both of these have their drawbacks:

mount_smbfs via NSTask: Does not play nice with Finder's sidebar. Leaves artifacts long after unmounting. Requires a more complex processor method in order to ensure arguments are properly escaped.

NSAppleScript: Provides no option that I can see for timing out. If it can't resolve the server, then the main thread of my program hangs.

Is there a better way to go about this? The server is arbitrary. There is nothing guaranteed about it. Is using NSTask to pipe the generated script into osascript and a NSTimer instance the only way to get timing out functionality? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
