Linux Shell Script to make CD/DVD Image mounting possible

Mounting Of CD/DVD images are hectic and complex command based. To make it simple here is a way :

Copy the Following code in a text editor and save it as mount.sh


Mount Script

Code:

---

#!/bin/bash
# mount

gksudo -k /bin/echo "Are You  The Admin?"

BASENAME=`basename $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS .iso`

sudo mkdir "/media/$BASENAME"

zenity --info --title "ISO Mounter" --text "$BASENAME e $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS"


if sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS "/media/$BASENAME"
then
if zenity --question --title "ISO Mounter" --text "$BASENAME Successfully Mounted. Open Volume?"

then
nautilus /media/"$BASENAME" --no-desktop
fi

exit 0
else
sudo rmdir "/media/$BASENAME"

zenity --error --title "ISO Mounter" --text "Cannot mount $BASENAME!"

exit 1
fi

---

Copy the Following code in a text editor and save it as unmount.sh

Unmount Script

Code:

---

#!/bin/bash
# unmount

gksudo -k /bin/echo "Are You  The Admin?"

BASENAME=`basename $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS .iso`

sudo umount "/media/$BASENAME"

sudo rmdir "/media/$BASENAME"

zenity --info --text "Successfully unmounted /media/$BASENAME"

exit 0

---

These codes are NAUTILUS SCRIPTS.

Now you need to change the permission of the mount.sh and unmount.sh files : Type in the following commands in terminal : One line at a time!

Code:

---

sudo chmod +x /home/username/Desktop/mount.sh
sudo chmod +x /home/username/Desktop/umount.sh

---

Now you need to copy them to actual nautilus scripts.

Code:

---

sudo mv /home/username/mount.sh ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
sudo mv /home/username/unmount.sh ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/

---

Now Reboot you computer to see the change...

To check Right click on any CD/DVD image there will be two options :

• Mount
• Unmount

Now mounting will be easy...! Just Right Click the image and select the action.
