    How can I mount an external Hard Drive, other then restarting the system?

    FireWire? USB? just plug it in and it will mount on the desktop. You can also open Disk Utility to see if it is connected and mount and unmount volumes.

    OK, I think I found what i was looking for; autodiskmount. Mostly does the
    job, makes the disk avaliable again to Darwin. Have to force quit finder before
    it is avalible on the desktop. But this will do.

    disktool -r

    should refresh the desktop and show the newly mounted volumes without requiring a force quit of the Finder.

    thanks Joel, I did not know about disktool, no man pages for that.
