BladeRunner Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I know this is a nit. I don't re-boot that often and I can always use Finder -> network to connect to the required NAS folders. Still, what I would like to know is a method of making those connections automatically when I login. The NAS device runs some version of Linux, but the folders appear as WinXX shares. If anyone knows how to do this I would really appreciate some pointers. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bookmarked the URLs and begun my study. So far, I am attempting the AppleScript method since it looks like a reuseable skill to acquire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeRunner Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Just to bring closure to the item, I thought I would provide my solution and again say thanks to Ramjet. I chose an AppleScript - saved as an application and then dragged to my Account -> startup items. The script is short and with no error checking, but given the nature of what it does I don't see that as a problem. This is the script: tell application "Finder" mount volume "smb://lrh@homestorage/music" mount volume "smb://lrh@homestorage/video" mount volume "smb://lrh@homestorage/pictures" end tell I chose "mount volume" in place of "open location" because the open actually opens a finder window and I didn't want that. I also got a lot of usefull information form the Apple developer site at http://developer.apple.com/ Again, thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
