John,

There is such a way. It's called a shell script. For the above, create a
file named, e.g., 'find-mount-points.sh' with this content:
----------
#!/bin/bash

# Find all mount points except those on external drives. Write them
# to a file in my home directory.

sudo find / -name "*.mount" -print -o -path '/media' -prune > 
~/find_mount_points.txt

# EOF
----------
Then run 'chmod +x find-mount-points.sh'

I suppose you can attach that file to a picture on your desktop, or just run
it from a terminal window (using sudo).

Regards,

Rich
