Leopard mount samba shares
by matt on Aug.05, 2008, under Mac OS X Hints, Rantings
I have created a basic apple script that offers the user feedback about the progress of mounting your network samba shares on Leopard.
To use this script, post it into Script Editor, update the relevant server and share variables.
Click the Run button to test the script out.
Once you are happy with your new script, choose File > Save.. and choose Application as the File Format, and check ‘Run Only’ from the options in the Save dialog box.
tell application "Finder"
activate
set theSharesCount to 3
try
display dialog "Mounting Share 1 of " & theSharesCount giving up after 1 with icon note
mount volume "cifs://WORKGROUP;matt@workserver/websites"
end try
try
display dialog "Mounting Share 2 of " & theSharesCount giving up after 1 with icon note
mount volume "cifs://WORKGROUP;matt@workserver/source"
end try
try
display dialog "Mounting Share 3 of " & theSharesCount giving up after 1 with icon note
mount volume "cifs://WORKGROUP;matt@workserver/admin"
end try
end tell

http://tny.ms/0gri - this is bull$h1t. I just bought a NAS for this exact purpose. So now it's going to be either iTunes 9 or another app..

This is a very temporary fix for mounting multiple samba shares. There are much more elegant solutions out there.

This is a great simple script. I work in multiple schools running Windows 2003 servers using my MacBook. Very simple and easy to mount multiple smb shares.
Thanks for the Post

Thanks for the feedback David, greatly appreciated.
An interesting project is http://www.symonds.id.au/marcopolo/ . It will mount/unmount samba shares depending on different environment factors that it discovers.
