Using Automator to connect to SMB shares

I’m trying to write an Automator Workflow to reconnect macOS to some not-very-remote SMB shares (on a server beside the Mac). For some reason adding them to my login items doesn’t always work. Using an old answer at: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/3307/how-can-i-get-automator-to-mount-a-network-volume#answer-3308 I have two actions: - Get Specified Servers, where I list the shares - Connect to Servers The problem is that if the share is already mounted, I get a “Connect to Servers failed” error, and the script exits without trying the next one. Is there a way to test for the server first, or at least to ignore the error?
