mounted drives...

[neterhet]

hello, i have a new mbpro 15" 2.33... i also have an old sawtooth G4 that i have upgraded in the past with a 1ghz processor upgrade... (was time for a new beast)

here's my issue. i have 2 external and 2 internal drives on that G4 that i mount all the time on my desktop of the mbpro when i am working at home... much like a file server. is there any way so that i can automate the mounting of the drives? something simpler than going to "connect to server" and then selecting each volume i want to have mounted... like an applescript or automator action? and if so, how do i go about doing it?

You sure can!

First of all, create an alias of each drive after mounting it. Put the alias anywhere - just remember where you put it. Then, add each alias to your login items. I believe this can be done from the contextual menu. If not, you'll have to add them manually by opening System Preferences, clicking accounts, clicking login items, and adding each one.

I do that using automator. I have 2 automator apps. One for work (10 shares) and one for home (3-4 shares). I have both icons in the dock, just click on the one for where you are. Then "BOOM" all your drives will mount.
