This is probably a really simple to answer question but I've only just started using Amiga/MorphOS a few months back. I've got smbfs set up and running and was wondering if it's possible to add a command to my user-startup file to auto mount my shares on start up. If so, what's the syntax I should be using to do this? Thanks for any help with this.

I personally wouldn't add it to user-startup (you don't know if the TCP/IP srack is online at that point already and waiting for it would delay your boot).

But you could write a small script like this (replace share/ login information with your information of course) and save it to "SYS:WBStartup". Next you copy some .info file (icon) to this file, e.g. you saved your script as 'MountShare' then you save the icon as 'MountShare.info'. Finally right-click on the icon and choose 'Information...' and switch the icon type to 'Project' and add 'MOSSYS:C/IconX' as 'Default Tool'.

That way you simple can enable/ disable shares by dragging the script out of WBStartup.



; Wait for TCP/IP stack to show up
;
IF NOT EXISTS MOSSYS:s/network-startup
WaitForPort MIAMI.1 LOOP 10
ELSE
WaitForPort NETSTACK LOOP 10
ENDIF

; First start needs some delay, so TCP/IP stack has time to go online
;
IF NOT EXISTS T:SMB1.log
WAIT 3
ENDIF

Date LFORMAT "smbfs for 'data' started at %T %d.%m.%Y" >>T:SMB1.log
Run <>NIL: smbfs workgroup HOMENET user SECRETAGENT password TOPSECRET devicename SMB1 volumename data@garnet //garnet/data OMITHIDDEN <NIL: >>T:SMB1.log

EndCLI

this 'Run ..... >>T:SMB1.log' stuff is a single line; for some reason it shows up as multiple lines here in IBrowse even I placed it in a code block. MorphZone.org is quite broken.

That seems to have worked. Thanks.
