samba script

[bomrat]

hi, i am trying to make a samba script for startup.
i created a smb_startup script made it executable.

i can run the exact command in a shell window and it works. in the script i get an error..

the only thing i can think of is the line is so long it line wraps

it has the following:
smbfs Volume="a_share" Workgroup=workgroup Service=//192.168.0.200/amiga_share

any ideas?

thanks

workgroup Service

should it not be "workgroup Service"

Or rename your workgroup to a smaller name.

[bomrat]

it is separate.   Service=

ok

The last time I tried was using this command:

run >nil: smbfs Volume=E Workgroup=test User=PCGuest Service=//intel/e

IIRC, even if you use an IP address as the hostname, you still have to make sure that it exists in your Hosts (in Internet prefs and consequently in the SYS:Devs/Internet/hosts file).

Also, make sure you have the network up before executing tyhe script, i.e. if you are running it during startup, call it from the bottom part of your S:Network-Startup script.

(talking OS4 here, of course; if you're on anything lower, the principles are the same, but you have to work out the equivalents yourself :-)).

Best regards,

Niels

my issue is in a script it does not work.  if i keep the line short it works in a script...
if it line wraps it does not work...

how do i fix that...
thanks

Try your parameter Volume without quotes.

hi, running without quotes crashes.
i have it as a standalone script, and that works.
i just need to run the script when i want to mount it.
now to make an icon for it.
thanks
