I found an applescript to automaount smb shares, and was hoping for some help with it.

the script is:
====
tell application "Finder"


open location "smb:// user : password @ computername / sharename"


end tell
=====

is there a way to make it so when the location is opened, it doesn't open the window in the finder? I just want the smb share mounted, that's all.

and to give credit where its due, I found the script @ http://unxmaal.com/mt/archives/001897.php

Code:
     open location "smb:// user : password @ computername / sharename"
tell application "Finder"
     close front window
end tell

Not exactly what you were looking for, but the window doesn't remain open.

[edit] - just remembered something...

Try adding a trailing slash after the end of the URL - This may mount the drive without opening the window (maybe that's just AFP though...)

[edit2] - even better use the Mount Volume Command:

Code:
mount volume "smb://user:pass@host/share"

(you don't even need to target the Finder)
