Applescript for mounted disk image

Trying to create an AppleScript that will unmount a specific disk image if it exists on my desktop. If it does not exist, the script should quit

Thanks

eject partition I am trying to eject partitions from my desktop if they exist. The following automator script does not execute reliably. Running as an AppleScript in Automator. It may eject 1 or 2 partitions and leave the third or if there are 2 mounted, it may just eject 1. Appreciate any help in reliably unmounting these partitions. Or any different way. on run {input, parameters} tell application "Finder" if exists disk "A" then eject disk "A" end if end tell tell application "Finder" if exists disk "B" then eject disk "B" end if end tell tell application "Finder" if exists disk "C" then eject disk "C" end if end tell return input end run

I want to run a shell script to MOUNT all available external volumes I found this for unmounting and it works fine: osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to eject (every disk whose ejectable is true)' I don't know the syntax commands for the opposite action, mounting mountable disks. I tried substituting "eject" with "mount" and "ejectable" with "mountable" but no go. Is it possible to script this? Tx The alternative is to buy the "Mountain" application and have done with it for $6.

else if I have an external drive that is partitioned. One of the drives is PRO FULL 1 L. I want to be able to unmount the partition if it exists and do nothing if it does not exist. I have come up with the following which works fine if the partition exists, but can't figure out what to add to script (else if?) to deal with the situation if the partition does not exist. (running Catalina ) Thanks ---PRO FULL 1 L if exists (do shell script "diskutil unmount /dev/disk4s2") then end if ---PRO FULL 1 L - data if exists (do shell script "diskutil unmount /dev/disk4s1") then end if
