In Terminal: chmod 777 ~/Library/Scripts/NetworkMounts/MountShares.sh You now need to make the bash script executable, we use chmod to do this. (I use ~/Library/Scripts/NetworkMounts/MountShares.sh) Save the bash script in a convenient location.

If you are going to use the SSID as a condition as I have, you'll want to change line 5 by replacing 2600leagues with your SSID. (in my example /Users/kyle/Music/)Įdit the line 1 of the bash script to reflect a file or directory inside the mounted share. If it is successful, your share should be available at the mount location. Now that we have our edited mount command, try running it in Terminal. sbin/mount -o nodev,nosuid -t /Where/You/Want/it_to_mount/'Įxample: /sbin/mount -o nodev,nosuid -t smbfs '/Users/kyle/Music/' Next we need to edit line 11 to represent your specific needs. sbin/mount -o nodev,nosuid -t smbfs '/Users/kyle/Music/' #echo SSID is Null, we're not connected with the Airport to any Network. Open your favorite text editor and start a new file, I called mine MountShares.sh if then That our SSID must be equal to a pre-defined SSID, in my case '2600leagues' (line 9).The SSID of our Airport card network is not null (line 5-8).The share is not already mounted (line 1-4).Remember the output of this: airport -I | grep '.* SSID:' | sed 's/^.* SSID: //' The Script: Open Terminal and run: sudo ln -s /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/amework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport /usr/sbin/airport If you're going to use SSID as a condition for mounting as I have you may find it benificial to alias the Airport utility that ships with OS X to your /usr/bin/. You can of course use anything you'd like for conditional execution. I'm using my laptop's wireless card to determine if I am connected to my home SSID. Made with help from Dave Nicoll's about sharing windows/x iTunes libraries. This is for Samba shares, but you can modify it to do other types. Create a launchd agent (a bash script in this case) to mount us whatever shares we like every couple of minutes.
