- - Unmount share after copy (https://www.shirt-pocket.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1825)

Here's how I got it to work. The idle handler in the AppleScript checks whether SuperDuper is running; if so, it comes back after 2 secs to check again. When SD is gone, that must mean the share isn't being used any more. So then it ejects, then quits itself. (Replace "YourShare" with the name of your share.)

The Applescript needs to be saved as App, with "stay open" option active.

Code:

global BackupInProgress, BackupPartPresent



on goodbye()

        quit

end goodbye



on idle

        if BackupInProgress is false then

                

                tell application "Finder"

                        if (exists the disk "YourShare") then

                                eject "YourShare"

                                set BackupPartPresent to false

                                

                        end if

                        if (exists the disk "YourShare") then

                                

                        end if

                end tell

                goodbye()

        else

                tell application "System Events" to (creator type of processes) contains "SdPr"

                

                set BackupInProgress to the result

                -- beep 1

                --return 2

                

        end if

        return 2

        

end idle

on run

        set BackupPartPresent to true

        

        tell application "System Events" to (creator type of processes) contains "SdPr"

        

        set BackupInProgress to the result

        

        idle

end run

Since SD can't seem to call scripts that stay open, I have this snippet called from SD (replace "/path/to/TheAppleScript.app" with path to where your Applescript resides)

Code:



open ~/path/to/TheAppleScript.app

exit

For some reason, I couldn't get it to work with the "osascript" command.

Actually this feature should really be built in!

I think you'll now be able to do this with a single line, since the mini-script worked, the tricky thing being escaping things properly, and I couldn't figure it out. So put the eject in a little saved script:

Code:

tell application "Finder" to eject "mjg"

save as text or a compiled script, and do:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

nohup /bin/bash -c "sleep 20; osascript path/to/the/script/file" &

The applescript works great, but how do I impliment the shell command into SuperDuper?

Set it as the "after copy" shell script in the Advanced tab of Options.

Obscenely fast response - you guys rock :-)

But a dense reply... I have the applscript saved and it works fine when I manually launch it. The shell command I assumed would be copied and pasted into the "after copy" section under the Advanced tab. However, this brings up an open dialog box so do I just save the shell command as a text file and then point the "after copy" to that file?

Yes. You save it as a text file, mark it as executable (chmod +x the-file), and point to that.
