Trying to run an AppleScript that if the volume exists unmount it.
I am successful in unmounting it, but can't figure how to just unmount it IF IT EXISTS
This unmounts it
do shell script "diskutil unmount 43123A60-7F49-4200-A18F-C80BA166E9RE"
FWIW the name of the volume is EXTRA
Thanks for tour help

You could just:
try
do shell script "diskutil unmount 43123A60-7F49-4200-A18F-C80BA166E9RE"
end try
try/end try is AppleScript's method for catching errors.
Different from Niel's suggestion, which determines whether or not try to unmount - mine tries and just ignores failures.

Use:
tell application "Finder"
if exists disk "Extra" then
do shell script "diskutil unmount 43123A60-7F49-4200-A18F-C80BA166E9RE"
end if
end tell
