Mounting A Samba Share on/just after boot

[Thomas]

Startup-Sequence is taboo, don't touch it ! The correct place for customisations is User-Startup.

However, mounting a share is better synchronised with the TCP/IP stack because trying to mount it before TCP/IP is online will fail. Depending on the stack you use there are different places to add scripts to events. Check your TCP/IP prefs.

According to my experience, you better delay the mounting of shares a little bit after going online. So to the online event add something like "run >nil: execute s:online_script" and in s:online_script you do this:

wait 1
mount myshare:

BTW, to run a script from WBStartup, you have to give it an icon. Create or copy a project icon, then open its icon information and change the default tool to c:iconx.

@mgerics: he does not want to change local shares but he wants to access remote shares. You cannot use SWAT to do that, you need SMB-Connect or SMBFS. The former works with a mountlist which has to be activated by the mount command.
