So if I understood this right: The script mounts a network share (smb://xx.x.x.x) and starts indexing the volume?
Have tried but get this error:
Resultat:
"/Volumes/FAKTA:
Error: unable to perform operation. Try as root. (-403)
Server search enabled."
Have set it up with theese parameters:
set protocol to "cifs"
set server to "10.0.1.2"
set share to "FAKTA"
set packet_loss to (do shell script "ping -t1 -c1 " & server & " | grep transmitted | cut -d, -f3 | cut -b2-")
