Dear Mr. Faun,

First of all, thanks for your clean and smart code. This solves my problem in many directions.

I will explain a bit about a problem I am facing if you want to go directly to the point please go to the "Direct to the point" paragraph.

I am implementing a Database interface in my lab and I need to create this interface for Windows, Linux and OSx. All is working good but my central problem is that on OSx, the smb connection (to a windows machine where a database actually is) is frequently shut down by the OSx. The GUI I wrote has also an assistant to create the connection to the server and do this for two folders in the same Server Windows Machine. I am trying to use you Code in this Connection Assistant.

DIRECT TO THE POINT: I am using a bash code completely inspired by your (thanks again) to connect to 2 distinct folders in the same machine. I need to run the code twice, one for each folder, due to GUI reasons. The code works for the first folder, but not for the second. Both folders are accessible by OSx "Connection to the Server" interface
Code 1 (working):

#!/usr/bin/env bash

PASSWORD_ENTERED=true

ACCOUNT_NAME='DBlni'

SERVICE_NAME='mount_DB_volume'

PASSWORD='REALPASSORD' # here I add the real Server user password
REMOTE_USER='BD'

REMOTE_SERVER='143.BBB.CCC.ZZ/Users/BD/'  # 143.BBB.CCC.ZZ is IP adress of the server

security add-generic-password -a $ACCOUNT_NAME -l "Volume mount password for user ${REMOTE_USER} on ${REMOTE_SERVER}" -s $SERVICE_NAME -w $PASSWORD

PASSWORD=$(security 2> /dev/null find-generic-password -w -a $ACCOUNT_NAME -s $SERVICE_NAME)

declare -a REMOTE_MOUNTS=(DBlniAdd)

LOCAL_DESTINATION="/Users/bmc/Documents/DBlni_Find"

ENCODED_PASSWORD="$(perl -MURI::Escape -e 'print uri_escape($ARGV[0]);' "$PASSWORD")"

for MOUNT in ${REMOTE_MOUNTS[*]}
do
   mkdir -p "$LOCAL_DESTINATION/$MOUNT"
   mount_smbfs -o automounted -N "//${REMOTE_USER}:$ENCODED_PASSWORD@${REMOTE_SERVER}/${MOUNT}/" "$LOCAL_DESTINATION/$MOUNT"
done

This code works fine, the mount is completed, and the keychain added.

The second cone (NOT WORKING, ERROR: mount_smbfs: mount error: /Users/bmc/Documents/DBlni_Find/Repositorio: Unknown error: -1073741412)

#!/usr/bin/env bash

PASSWORD_ENTERED=true

ACCOUNT_NAME='Repository'

SERVICE_NAME='mount_RP_volume'

PASSWORD='REALPASSORD' # here I add the real Server user password

REMOTE_USER='BD'

REMOTE_SERVER='143.BBB.CCC.ZZ/'  # 143.BBB.CCC.ZZ is the IP address of the server

security add-generic-password -a $ACCOUNT_NAME -l "Volume mount password for user ${REMOTE_USER} on ${REMOTE_SERVER}" -s $SERVICE_NAME -w $PASSWORD

PASSWORD=$(security 2> /dev/null find-generic-password -w -a $ACCOUNT_NAME -s $SERVICE_NAME)

declare -a REMOTE_MOUNTS=(Repositorio) #this folder is on the root of a D:\ unit. (143.BBB.CCC.ZZ/Repositorio)

LOCAL_DESTINATION="/Users/bmc/Documents/DBlni_Find"

ENCODED_PASSWORD="$(perl -MURI::Escape -e 'print uri_escape($ARGV[0]);' "$PASSWORD")"

for MOUNT in ${REMOTE_MOUNTS[*]}
do
   mkdir -p "$LOCAL_DESTINATION/$MOUNT"
   mount_smbfs -o automounted -N "//${REMOTE_USER}:$ENCODED_PASSWORD@${REMOTE_SERVER}/${MOUNT}/" "$LOCAL_DESTINATION/$MOUNT"
done

As you noticed the codes are very similar, changing only the server folder
Thank you very much for any tip.

Just Solved. The problem was a double '/' on the address. My bad. Thanks!
