Good Day,

I have 3 network shares that I mount into my file system. In the past, I have just retyped the mount commands if I ever had to reboot my Linux box. I realized that I was making much more work for myself than necessary so I wrote a small script that mounts my shares for me.

Now I would like to have the little mount script run automatically when the machine boots.

Q1: Where can I put my little mount script so it runs on boot?

Q2: Is there a better way to automatically mount my network shares on boot?

-Thanks for the help.

There is already a process dedicated to that, it's called fstab, search these forums, the file is /etc/fstab

take a look at it's format, pretty simple to work out, although nfs shares (i presume?) the path is nfs://ip if i remember right

distros differ sometimes in where the boot up scripts. but take a look in /etc/rc.d/rc<your run level>.d (atleast on fedora ) there are scripts there with S# and K# S is start the lower the number the high the priority, K is kill

Cool. I wil give that a try. Appreciate the feedback.

please change the tag from scrips to script thanks
