AUTOFS(8) AUTOFS(8)
NAME
/etc/init.d/autofs - Control Script for automounter
SYNOPSIS
/etc/init.d/autofs start|stop|reload|status
DESCRIPTION
autofs control the operation of the automount(8) daemons running on the
Linux system. Usually autofs is invoked at system boot time with the
start parameter and at shutdown time with the stop parameter. The aut-
ofs script can also manually be invoked by the system administrator to
shut down, restart or reload the automounters.
OPERATION
autofs will consult a configuration file /etc/auto.master (see
auto.master(5)) to find mount points on the system. For each of those
mount points a automount(8) process is started with the appropriate
parameters. You can check the active mount points for the automounter
with the /etc/init.d/autofs status command. If the auto.master configu-
ration file contains a line of the form
+map [options]
then the script will check for an NIS map with the same name. If such
a map exists then that map will be processed in the same way as the
auto.master map, with any optional arguments.
/etc/init.d/autofs reload will check the current auto.master map
against running daemons. It will kill those daemons whose entries have
changed and then start daemons for new or changed entries.
If a map is modified then the change will become effective immediately.
If the auto.master map is modified then the autofs script must be rerun
to activate the changes.
/etc/init.d/autofs status will display the current configuration and a
list of currently running automount daemons.
