loginhook problem

[Joy]

Hi all,

I have a script that I’m trying to run as a loginhook. The script does what it is suppose to do if I run it manually after I login, but it will not run as a loginhook. Can anyone see from the script below what the problem might be?

[code]

PRIVATE=`cat /Library/Scripts/Custom/private`
DEPTDATA=`cat /Library/Scripts/Custom/data`
if [ “`/sbin/ifconfig en0 | /usr/bin/grep ‘inet xxx\.xx\.’`” ]
then
mkdir /Volumes/$USER
mkdir /Volumes/DeptData
`/sbin/mount -o nodev,nosuid -t smbfs ‘//’$PRIVATE” ‘//Volumes/’$USER”`
`/sbin/mount -o nodev,nosuid -t smbfs ‘//’$DEPTDATA” ‘//Volumes/’DeptData”`
echo $USER
echo $DEPTDATA
else
echo “you aren’t connected”
fi
[/code]

Thank you in advanced

$USER is not defined when the loginhook runs.

loginhooks are passed the shortname of the user as the first argument, so using “$1” instead of “$USER” should fix that.

Also, if you really posted the entire script, you need to add a “she-bang” line to the beginning, ala:

#!/bin/sh
