Shell Script Eject All For Quicksilver Trigger

At Merlin’s request…

Rough draft, first attempt, whatever, it doesn’t work quite yet for me but I’ll post it and see if anybody else can help.

Just create a trigger to run the shell script (once it works correctly, it’s close though) and you can eject all with a hot key, no extra apps needed.

Update: I think I got it working, just save this, make it executable with chmod +x and then create a trigger in Quicksilver to run the shell script. (You will need the appropriate Quicksilver plugins. I’ll make a tutorial when I get home probably.)

Bugs:

1. Doesn’t work if volume has spaces.
2. Doesn’t properly eject disk images, maybe others.
3. Uses disktool which is deprecated. If I had to I could just use mount but this works.

#!/bin/bash
for i in $( disktool -l | grep "Mountpoint = '/" | sed s/^.*Mountpoint = '// | sed s/',.*// | sed 's/ //g' )
    do
        case "${i}" in
# Add any volumes you might want to skip as alternate case, for example the root volume:
            /)
                ;;
            /Users/nnutter)
                ;;
# This case will take care of all the others, the drives you do want to eject:
            *)
                diskutil eject  "`echo $i | sed 's// /g'`"
                ;;
        esac
    done
