unmount before script?

[Dewdman42]

Is it possible to tell SD to unmount the sparsebundle before executing the final shell script? If not, is it ok for the shell script to unmount it?

Sorry, no - you can't do either...

[Dewdman42]

If I launch my script in the background and have it sleep for a while before unmounting, will that be ok? It will wait while SD finishes up.

We're going to automatically unmount the bundle when we're done, so you certainly don't need to do it "for" us (assuming you selected the bundle, and not the bundle's mounted volume, in the destination pop-up).

For some reason, whenever I try to run a backup directly, its not unmounting the image after its done. yes I'm making sure to backup to a bundle, not any mounted volume. When I start it is either not existing or not mounted already either. The backup runs and when its done I see the last action on the list in SD is to unmount, and it checks it off the list as one, but the volume is still mounted.

??

Also, when i try to setup SD to QUIT when done, it doesn't quit. It also shows up on the SD window as the last action item and checks it off...but still SD is left running at the end...

Maybe that only works when its scheduled?

I don't know why it wouldn't unmount unless something was preventing it from doing so, and a sleep-then-unmount wouldn't change that. We certainly requested the eject if it was checked.

Quit, on schedule, will happen unless SD! was running when the schedule fired.
