Not sure. Might work. What if it wasn't mounted - the 'automount
on close' would still happen.
I think the desired (but hard to achieve - I don't know how to do it)
result is something like " if it's mounted, issue the MMC command,
leave the device mounted" _OR_ "if it's not mounted, issue the MMC
command, and leave the device unmounted".
Right?
At one time we/you had something working - but the act of closing
kept remounting the drive and changing the owner of the device to
the person logged in on the console (me ;)).
Quite annoying. T
There's got to be some documentation buried somewhere at Apple's
site and/or "bookstore" with how to manipulate devices - I've seen
programs like Roxio's Toast "do the right thing" so it's possible,
just don't know where to look.
