Automatically connect to shared device when detected Here is my need : I want my media center to be mounted in the /Volumes of my Macbook as soon as I turn it on.
So, I need to automate the Connect as action.

Users &amp; groups &gt; Login items only resolve one part of the equation : mounting the macmini on laptop startup.
How to silently establish connection if I boot up macmini while laptop is already running ?
Update:
http://www.kristijan.org/2010/11/automount-afp-shares-in-osx/ explain how to mount a volume using automount command.
Still, is there an event &quot;Share just appeared on network&quot; emitted somehow by the system that I could plug into to trigger when to execute the automount command ?
You should definately check out google first.
