Name

autosmbmnt — automatically mount SMB shares when available

Synopsis

autosmbmnt [OPTIONS] host,share[,username[,password]]  ...

DESCRIPTION

autosmbmnt takes a list of SMB shares and continually monitors the availability of those shares. Shares are mounted when available, and are automatically un-mounted when they are no longer available.

Shares are mounted under the current working directory like ./host/share. If directory (with --dir) is specified, shares are mounted on mount points under that directory instead of the current directory. Mount points are automatically created by autosmbmnt before mounting begins, and will be removed on exit (unless autosmbmnt failed to un-mount the share).

OPTIONS

Mandatory arguments for long options are mandatory for short options, too.

-h, --help
show summary of options and exit
-v, --version
show version of program and exit
-s, --smbmount
use smbmount/smbumount instead of mount/umount
-w, --writeable
mount shares with write permission
-d, --dir=directory
mount shares on mount points under directory instead of the current working directory
-q, --quiet
be less verbose
-Q, --very-quiet
be even less verbose
--debug
produce verbose debugging output

BUGS

Shares are specified using non-standard comma syntax (described above). Passwords for shares must be provided on the command-line, and are not obfuscated in memory, and, consequently, are easily seen using ps or other methods.
