command to check presence of volume
Hi:

I'm not really a programmer, but I've created a small logout hook script to copy some specific directories to a server volume when a user logs out (10.6.4). These is a laptop user, so I'm looking find:

1) the command to check if the volume (including path to directory?) is available.

2) the command to stop end the script if the volume/path is not available, but continue with my cp commands if the volume/path is present.

3) do logout hooks run only after all user-launched applications have fully quit? If not, what would be the command(s) to make sure all the apps quit before the script continues? Naturally, I want to be sure the copy commands run only if all the user's apps have quit so there are no open documents.

I've already created an Automator script to do what I want, but can't locate the info on how to make it run during the logout process. I'm more of a GUI person, so if someone knows how to do this, that would be a good answer for me.


Thanks!

nwfsctrl

NWFSCTRL(8)							     nwfsctrl							       NWFSCTRL(8)

NAME

       nwfsctrl - Perform server command

SYNOPSIS

       nwfsctrl [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -p ncpfs path ] -c | -o | -[f]d

       nwfsctrl [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -p ncpfs path ] server command

DESCRIPTION

       nwfsctrl performs command on server.

OPTIONS

       -h
	  With -h nwfsctrl prints a little help text.

       -S server
	  is the name of the server you want to use.

       -U user
	  user is the user name to use for login. To set the server's time, you need supervisor privileges.

       -P password
	  password  is	the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwfstime
	  prompts for a password.

       -n
	  -n should be given if no password is required for the login. As you need supervisor privileges for  setting  the  date  and  time,  this
	  option is probably not used very often.

       -C
	  By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
	  this conversion by -C.

       -o
	  Open bindery.

       -c
	  Close bindery.

       -d
	  Down fileserver. This command will complain if there are open files on server.

       -fd
	  Down fileserver, regardless of opened files.

       load module options...
	  Load module module with options options... on server. Program will complain if module is already loaded.

       unload module
	  Unload module module from server. Program will complain if module is not loaded.

       mount volume
	  Mount volume volume.

       dismount volume
	  Dismount volume volume. If there are open files on volume, server displays prompt on console. You must go to the server (or telnet/xcon-
	  sole) and hit Y or N to get beyond this point).

       set variable = value
	  Set server settable variable variable to value value.

       open bindery
	  Open bindery.

       close bindery
	  Close bindery.

       enable login
	  Enable login to file server.

       disable login
	  Disable login to file server.

       disable tts
	  Disable TTS. This probably does not work on Netware 4.11.

       enable tts
	  Enable TTS. This probably does not work on Netware 4.11.

       Other commands are not written yet (volume, clear connection ...)
