			<h4><b>Using the Exclude Preference Pane</b></h4>
			<p>The Automation Pane allows you to enter before and after scripts as well as notification preferences. </p>
	  <div summary="How to open the preview window" id="taskbox">
		<p><strong>Why use  before and after scripts?</strong>
		<p>The most common use of these scripts is to mount an external volume prior to a backuplist+ session. You can also designate a script for unmounting the volume at the end of the session
		<p>
	    
		</p></div>
        <div summary="How to open the preview window" id="taskbox">
		  <p><strong>Example Shell scripts</strong></p>
		  <p> In each case replace myVolumeName with the name of the backup volume ( as it appears on your desktop.) </p>
		  <p><strong>To mount a specific volume for a backup, paste this line into the &quot;Run Shell Command&quot; text field under &quot;Before backup.&quot;</strong></p>
		  <p>diskutil mount `disktool -l | grep myVolumeName | sed 's/.*\\(disk[0-9s]*\\).*/\\1/'`</p>
		  <p><strong>To unmount a specific volume after a backup, paste this line into the &quot;Run Shell Command&quot; text field under After backup.&quot;</strong></p>
		  <p>diskutil unmount /Volumes/myVolumeName</p>
		  <p>&nbsp;</p>
		  <p><strong>Applescripts</strong></p>
		  <p>Alternately you can create and applescript application and enter it's path in the &quot;Run Applescript File&quot; text fields. Or use the Browse button to select it in the open dialog.</p>
        </div>
<div summary="How to open the preview window" id="taskbox">
				<p><strong>Notifications
                </strong>
    <p>These are simple to let you know that a backup has happend and if it was succesful. 
    <p><strong>Send Email</strong>: if you enter your email address, backuplist+ will attempt to send an email with the backup results to that address via the Apple Mail application.</p>
                <p><strong>Growl Notification:</strong> If you download and install Growl from the <a href="http://growl.info/index.php">Growl website</a>, backuplist+ will post a growl transparent notification on your desktop after a session. You do not need to configure the Growl Preference Pane for backuplist+, it will be done automatically.</p>
                <p><strong>Sleep</strong>: This will sleep you computer after the backuplist session.</p>
                <p><strong>Play Alert</strong>: This will do just that after the  backuplist session.</p>
                <p><strong>Shutdown Computer</strong>: And this will do just that after the  backuplist session.</p>
