Slippery Path
Mike,
I believe that the command is operating as per the manual. Adding the
command to the startup sequence (or USER-STARTUP) is the best way to
overcome your problem.
You might try using the "QUIET" option on the command, this should
avoid the requesters for the "missing path" if it is not mounted at the
time the command is issued. (I must admit not having attempted this but it
is the message I get from reading the manual. Worth a try?)
regards Leonard.
