How to Unmount a Volume?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X

#1

Hi All,

I am developing an applescript which will be run on a workstation and is designed to do the following:

  1. Access a Sharefolder on Server A
  2. Download 2 Files from Server A
  3. Process these Files via Excel
  4. Access a Sharefolder on Server B
  5. Upload the 2 Files to Server B
  6. Delete the Files from the Workstation
  7. Close the Sharefolders

The main issue I am having is in closing the sharefolders.

I access them using the following code:

mount volume "Filemaker Pro 5 Folder" on server "Quicksilver" in AppleTalk zone "Office_Ground" as user name "USER" with password "PASSWORD"

However, I am having major troubles identifying the syntax to use to close this sharefolder.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Luke

hdiutil unmount “/Volumes/name_of_Volume”

Hope that helps…

… only if running Mac OS X.

However, any version of the Mac OS should support:

tell application "Finder'
  eject disk "Filemaker Pro 5 Folder"
end tell

Hi,

I just tried the eject message, but recieved an error message…

eject disk "Filemaker Pro 5 Folder"

Message:

Any other ideas? I’m at a loss (of course).

Thanks

(Running MacOS 8.6 - This thread is cross-posted at “AppleScript | OS”, but as you have already responded, I didn’t want to abandon it here.)

Got it - it was just bad syntax on my part…

put away disk <<SharefolderName>>

Thanks for your help…
