Well, for one, "mount" doesn't appear to be a valid command to
smbclient. You should try this in a shell window first, get it
working, then try it from rev. My guess is you'll also have to put
username%password info into the commandline as well. Try smbclient -?
for the available options.
----------------------------------------
This is what I reported in my post on 18th February (see the "Samba lessons
needed" thread):
In the Ubuntu terminal, the following works perfectly and I get a
listing of my Windows drive:
smbclient \\\\john\\c mount
dir
(CTRL+Z exits Samba) - QUIT works too.
So if "mount" isn't a valid command, somebody had better tell smbclient!
Possibly, smbclient -? for the available options is out of date.
---------------------------------------------------------
>Secondly, I don't really think smbclient is something that you'd want
running as a process, unless you've got something really wild in mind.
I'm not an expert on this by any means, but my understanding is that
"open process" is for something you want running in the background, as
on a server, as a daemon for other processes to communicate with. If
you just want to grab a directory listing or file off an smb server
then try the shell() function instead.
---------------------------------------------------------
No, all I want to do is to grab a directory listing off my smb server.

>put "smbclient \\\\john\\c -Wworkgroup -Uuser%password -cdir" into \
procToDo
put shell(procToDo) into field "test"
---------------------------------------------------------
Naturally, I tried SHELL first, but couldn't get it to work. Of course,
the fact that I am almost entirely ignorant of how to do anything
through the terminal probably doesn't help! (It smells too much like DOS
for my taste.) Anyway, here goes with your suggested
experiment.................:

Just to let you see the beauty of it, that's my drive listing.
Congratulations!
(Try to ignor the various flavours of "shit" in the directories).
QED, and thank you very much indeed!

Jacque: It was indeed tempting to comment on the pun contained in your
idea of trying to avoid "bugging" the Rev techies if possible, but at
this stage of the proceedings I'm too afraid even to joke about it!
