I need to get info on a volume from within a shell script, where all I have to identify the volume is its POSIX path.

It seems like this should work:

Code:
set p to "/Volumes/My Volume"
set a to POSIX file p
tell application "Finder" to open information window of a

But all I get back is an error saying that the information window of My Volume could not be gotten. Does anyone know how to do this?

Try this:

Code:
set p to "/Volumes/Macintosh HD"
set a to POSIX file p
tell application "Finder" to get info for a

Thank me. I voted for Bush.

I won't thank you for voting for Bush, but thanks for your response. Unfortunately, that just returns information; I needed the Get Info window to appear in the Finder.

The good news is that I found a completely different way of doing what I needed to do, so the issue is moot now.
