Mount/umount cifs

[willithepuppy]

Oh my, the forum runs like a snail today

Unfortunately I am an absolute noob in Puppy script.
I have written two scripts. They will connect and unconnect my external hard drive.
For security, the script should unmount the disk if it is already mounted and then reconnect.

First script look like this

#/bin/bash
#if already mounted unmount
umount -a -t cifs -l
sleep 0.3
#reconnect
mount.cifs //192.168.1.107/HDD1 /root/Server -o username="root",password=""
sleep 0.3
rox /root/Server/BT/0_Filme

The second script is

#!/bin/bash
umount -a -t cifs -l

Everything works wonderfully. But of course I get in the first script (mount) an error message if the disk is not mounted yet.

I think the command should look something like this

#/bin/bash
#if already mounted unmount
If mounted
umount -a -t cifs -l
sleep 0.3
else

#connect/reconnect
mount.cifs //192.168.1.107/HDD1 /root/Server -o username="root",password=""
sleep 0.3
rox /root/Server/BT/0_Filme
endif

but this is not sciptlike Puppy.

How is it correct?

I believe your question is related to checking if a share is mounted.

Normally you can do this by typing 'df' in terminal but you want to
do it automatically with a script.

You should read this page to find how to automatically find the name of a share

I put the final code in my fatdog_connect.sh script in
raspberry pi2 software.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash 

mntPt="root/Server"

IsMounted=$(mount | grep $mntPt)  # check for our mount point ..

if [ ! -z "$IsMounted" ] # String is not blank, so ..

	then echo "$mntPt exists"

  else  # then it is blank

	echo "No $mntPt"
fi

Thanks for your replies. But I had to learn more of the syntax of bash commands.

A useful site I've found here

https://ss64.com/bash/

The Rest is try and error. As I see, it is similar to Basic.

And the brain is also used again. That's the most important thing.
