Hi,
I have written a script to take backup of my database in remote server which is a windows machine.i have mounted that machine to my server using the script and daily script will run automatically, i have scheduled it using crontab like that and backup will be taken. but if my remote server is down means it gets unmounted and my backup falls on my local linux server itself.
i want a script to check whether the remote server is mounted or not if mounted take the backup or else stop the backup. I am very new to scripting so plz help me out in simple way. send me the script

No, we're not going to "send you the script", and spell out your words.

If you have already WRITTEN the script, that implies that you're familiar with shell scripting. Why don't you post what you've written already? And have you checked Google for any of the THOUSANDS of shell-scripting tutorials? Or bothered to search here, since it's been answered before???

Check the return code of the mount command. If it is not 0 the mount failed and you can abort the backup.
This is not the way it works on LQ. We will help you with your problems, but not do the work for you.
