Re: How to check whether network drive is mapped or not

Are you asking how to check that it's mounted from the system that's accessing it? This is pretty simple and just a matter of trying to access the drive. If you're looking for a simple command line to do it I suppose just running CD X (X being the letter assigned to the newtork drive) would do the job, since you should get an error if the drive isn't accessible.

Re: How to check whether network drive is mapped or not

or try

perl Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$dir = "x:\\share1\\share2";
 
if (-d $dir);
{
   print $dir," exists\n";
}
else 
{
   print $dir," not found\n";
}
$dir = "x:\\share1\\share2";

if (-d $dir);
{
   print $dir," exists\n";
}
else 
{
   print $dir," not found\n";
}
