Hello I have been running this script in FileMaker Pro for years now and it has been quite reliable.
I now want to make my process more efficient. I am then starting to run filemaker script on the server than rather on the client.
However, for some of the filemaker scripts a NAS (Synology DS214+) called "FARAMIR" has the be mounted. Up to now there was no issues because those scripts ran on the client.
In running FileMaker server I only have to turn on my Mac mini and the server becomes remotely accessible to all clients. I do not have to logon onto an account and everything for filemaker server to be remotely accessible.
There is an exception, the NAS is not mounted.
Is there a way with an applescript for it to mount the NAS without having to log on? What about super user, would that be the way to go?
If not possible with an applescript, would there be another way?
With regards!
Thanks
