jpfinley / Backup Workflow.md
Last active March 7, 2017 14:20
Some crazy tricks to automate by backup processes. This is the contents of an OS X Automator workflow.

Make sure the external drives are mounted (AppleScript)

try
  do shell script "ls /Volumes/Terrabyte/"
  do shell script "ls /Volumes/TerrabyteTwo/"
on error
  display dialog "External drive not mounted."
  error number -128 #supposedly kills the current Automator workflow
end try
