Ejecting an External Drive

[fruitstudios]

Hi guys,

 

In V1 I could eject an external firewire drive which is connected to another mac (mac mini server) on our local network. This no longer works, meaning we have to screen share each time to eject this drive as the server has no screen.

 

Working code in V1:

 

 

tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://userame:password@machine.local" to eject "My Passport Studio"

display dialog "Ejected" buttons "OK" default button "OK"

 

Is there a better way to do this in V2?

 

Thanks,

 

Ben

This should still work. When you created a workflow for doing this, did you put the code in an NSAppleScript module or use a Run Script module and set the language to osascript?
