External drives not mounting fast enough for SecuritySpy
Have any of you had an issue with SecuritySpy not waiting long enough for external drives to mount? I've got 4 Western Digital Element HDD's plugged into a Thunderbolt 3 Dock via its 4 USB-A type ports, and 1 TB3 enclosure for a 970 EVO SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe plugged directly into the M1 Mac mini via TB3. I use the TB3 SSD for SecuritySpy except it mounts too slowly, and SecuritySpy gives up waiting. Best way to speed it up or pause the start of SecuritySpy?

The script part
#!/bin/bash
i=180 #How long to wait for the drive to mount.
while ! [ -d "/Volumes/Surveillance/SecuritySpy" ] && [ $i -gt 0 ] ; do
sleep 1
((i--))
done
open /Applications/SecuritySpy.app
Thanks!
When you open SecuritySpy, if a disk takes more than a few seconds to appear, SecuritySpy will give feedback that it is waiting for a disk, with a countdown for how long it will wait.
Please both test and let me know your thoughts!
Went back and forth with Beta and Release installs and never had that hiccup occur again. Beta always ran as expected. I've now removed my custom scripts and all is well. Thanks Ben!
