OS has a "neighborhood" that it names "Network" that shows up in the
sidebar of the finder as the Shared tab. This contains the various
machines on your LAN that OS X can see.
I'd like to know where, if anywhere, this maps to the physical disk.
Basically, before I run a script, I want to know that the machine I am
trying to access is actually available.
#!/bin/bash
MAIL=`ps -U"$USER" -co command | grep "\bMail\b"`
if [ "$MAIL" ]; then
ssh cerebus.local cat .signature > $HOME/.signature
MYSIG="$(<$HOME/.signature)"
osascript <<EOF
tell application "Mail" to set content of signature "Fortune" to "--
" & return & "$MYSIG"
EOF
fi
This script works fine when the machine cerebus.local is there, but it
doesn't work when it's not (it blanks the .signature file)
I'd like to be able to check for the server before I run the rest of
the script (like I check if Mail is running before Doing anything
else. The easiest thing would be to check if a file exists, which is
why I am hoping there is some directory somewhere with a list of the
machines on the Network.
