Hi all,

I'm hoping to tell a set of workstations to copy their user directories to an Apple file server on our LAN.

I've got the one part of the operation working. The below sequence tells a remote workstation to mount the file server and copy the user directory to a folder on the server named 'Test.'

mkdir /Volumes/mntpnt
mount_afp afp://username'colon'password@192.168.1.14/volumename/ /Volumes/mntpnt/
ditto -V /Users/ /Volumes/mntpnt/Test/

Here's what I'm wanting to figure out. I'm using Apple Remote Desktop to send the same command to 10 or more workstations. What I need to do is have the shell command parse the network sharing name of the workstation, then create a folder on the server using that name, then do the copy operation to that folder.

Thanks for any tips.
