Mounting Network Volumes With AppleScript
One of my standard lunchtime reading web sites started me off on this; The Unofficial Apple Weblog got me reading an article on PC Magazine's site about Argh! moments. That sort of moment when you try to do something really simple on OS X but find it isn't. In this case, Robyn Peterson's struggle to mount a network volume on login struck a chord. I'd gone down a similar route and come up with an alias to a network volume in my login items, a solution which seems to be well documented after a quick Google search.
