Is there a way of mounting a server without it opening a window??

I am administering 40 emacs attached to an XSERVE G5. When the emac users go to open a large volume off the XSERVE with about 200 folders on it, a finder window automatically opens but then it can take up to 10 minutes before the window contents are shown. During this time the user is faced with 'beachball' and work halts.
Force-quitting the finder stops this and server remains connected, but I am looking for a better way of doing this.
Is there anyway in which this automatic opening can be supressed?
I have also posted this on the Panther forum

Two solutions: one pretty but might be annoying and one useful but not many users want to dirty their hands with CLI.
Solution 1: Move all folders for the share into One folder. So on initial mount of the Share, there is only one folder to 'display'.
Solution 2: There are command lines to mount shares, such as
`mount volume "afp://SERVERANME/sharename"`
This would mount that share and NOT pop-up a finder window. The CLI ickyness could be overcome with applescript, such as
`osascript -e "try" -e "mount volume \"afp://SERVERANME/sharename\"" -e "end try"`
and these can be added to startup scripts or made into applets so the flexibility is there.

  • Is there any way to restart Agentry Server without restarting SMP3.0 server?

    Hello Experts,
    Is there anyway to restart Agentry server, without restarting SMP server? I want to modify the setting of Agentry app and restart the Agentry to make change effective. Each time I restart Agentry, I have to restart the SMP3.0. It is very inconvenient.
    Please assist me on this issue. Thank you very much.

    That is something I believe they are working on for the next SP release (along with multiple Agentry apps on the same SMP 3 server).  I don't know if there is an offical way to do this but will see if I can get any answer.

  • Is there any way to install a plugin without admin rights on windows 7

    Hi all,
    I've developed a plugin for adobe indesign cs5. I was able to install my plugin(by creating .msi file) into indesign plugins folder, when extension manager is opened as administrator.
    I just want to know, if I can install the plugin without admin rights.
    FYI: My plugin will add a link to File menu on menubar of the indesign application, clicking which will execute the scripts.
    Please let me know if you want any other information.
    Thanks for any ideas/support.
    Regards,
    Srikanth

    InDesign will load plugins from the path specified in the PlugInConfig.txt file in the user's InDesign preferences directory, which does not require administrative privileges. See "Using PlugInConfig.txt" on pp.12- of the "Getting Started with the Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK" (getting-started.pdf) in the SDK. Specifically:
    Using PlugInConfig.txt
    1. If InDesign is running, exit it.
    2. Create a text file named “PlugInConfig.txt” in the InDesign preference directory, and enter
    the following text into it:
    =Path
    NOTE: The inDesign preference folder is located in the following directory (where <locale> is a
    locale-specific subdirectory; for example, en_US for English):
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
    Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\
    Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
    Mac OS: <user-home>/Library/Preferences/
    Adobe InDesign/Version #.#/<locale>
    3. Open the PlugInConfig.txt file in a text editor and edit the sections as desired. For example,
    the following tells InDesign to load every plug-in in the sdk folder:
    =Path
    "C:\Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK\build\win\debug\sdk
    NOTE: The preceding example is only for Windows. On Mac OS, use ‘:’ as the path separator.
    NOTE: You also can use a “=Exclude” tag to exclude a certain plug-in from being loaded. This
    is useful if you do not want to load everything in the “=Path” folder.
    NOTE: This is target specific. You cannot launch the release version of InDeisgn with debug
    plug-ins. It is convenient to add both debug and release paths, commenting out the  target that is not in use. For single-line comments, use “;” (semicolon).
    4. Save the PlugInConfig.txt file.
    5. Restart InDesign.
    6. Verify the set of plug-ins loaded by selecting the About Plug-ins menu.

  • Is there any way to get the server app other that through the app store. We do not have our system conneted to a network. I typical downloaded items on a non-apple system.

    is there any way to get the server app other than through the app store. The system that I need it on are not connected to the internet.
    We run a closed-loop network of apple systems and I tipically downloaded updates on a non-apple system that was on the internet.
    Any ideas?

    I did buy the server app, went to the app store to download it. This system I'm using for downloads is Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it shows that I can download it but only as an Install which says I need 10.8. I can't seem to find a way for it to just download as a package or .dmg file so that I can copy it to DVD/CD or flash drive.

    Is there a way to install the server on an external drive connected to an airport extreme?

    If you want a small (comparatively) cheap server along the lines of the AirPort Extreme the nearest thing is a Mac mini.
    You can use the AirPort Extreme as a very basic file server, and (unofficially) a Time Machine server. A Time Capsule has a built-in hard disk and officially supports being a Time Machine server.

    iCloud does not sync which apps are installed on each device. Deleting an app off of one device has no effect on the others.

  • I have a external back-up that my iMac (10.6.8) won't mount. Is there a way to mount without intializing and losing back-up data?

    I have a external back-up that my iMac (10.6.8) won't mount. Is there a way to mount without intializing and losing back-up data? I used time machine to back-up to a Seagate Go-flex hard drive. I get a message from my iMac that says it doesn't recognize this drive and wants to initialize. Hope someone can help.

    Try connecting the drive to a Windows machine, then ejecting.  If it won't eject properly, restart the Windows machine, and try again.  Then try connecting it to the Mac.

  • Is there any way to start weblogic server with java 7?

    Hi. Is there any way to start weblogic server with jdk 1.7?

    Hi,
    You can start your Weblogic Server with java 7(JDK 1.7) 
    Go to Domain_home/bin and click on StartWeblogic.cmd it will start your Admin Server
    It depends on which JDK you have used while creating domain if you have selected Jdk 1.7 it will use the same to start the server
    See the Ex:
    ================
    starting weblogic with Java version:
    java version "1.7.0_51"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)
    Starting WLS with line:

    If you are using a Lower version of JDK and want to upgrade to JKD 1.7 you can do so by changing setDomainEnv.sh in Weblogic
    Have a look at the below link to do so
