Following the suggestions that were posted, I now have a working
script that checks for a connection to the DVD-RAM drive. The
following works, but returns the 'Device not configured' error
if there's no disk in the drive.
elif !(sudo mount -t ufs -o rw /dev/cd0a $montering_punkt)
then
Currently, I'm suppressing the error message (2>/dev/null), but I'd
rather capture sterr in a variable and replace it with a custom
message if the error is 'Device not configured'. (The devise is
configured, but I forgot to put a disk in the drive, so the system
error message is confusing.) I've tried read and redirection, but I
can't seem to capture the error message in a variable. Does
anyone know how to do this?
