Disk and network availability are events, like keystrokes. When do you know that keyboard input is done? You could possibly wait for the keyboard to be quiescent. You could alternatively look for a marker like newline. But you'll never get an EOF. Not OS X, but with Solaris here. But we have issues with when a VCS (Veritas) Cluster FS is fully mounted on some systems. It got to the point we were doingall sorts of rc gymnastics to make sure it was mounted before certain other things started. I understand fully what you mean here.
