Sometime in March Jerry Krinock assaulted the keyboard and produced:
| tell application "Finder"
| mount volume "afp://sn:password@10.0.1.201/Macintosh HD/"
| end tell
|
| where:
| sn is a short user name on the desired volume
| password is the user's password
| 10.0.1.201 is its IP address of the desired volume
| Macintosh HD is its name
|
| Yeah, I know that putting a password in a script like this is not good
| security.
Sorry if this seems a little basic, but where would I put the script?
Should I put it in cron, or is this something that goes directly into OS X?
To give you a better understanding of where I'm coming from. I've spent the
last 7 years using only Linux, more or less, and I'm not really up to speed
on all the nuances and features of OS X.

liberty and democracy?
