need mount script for backup purposes
 

Hi all, i need to know how to setup a script that would mount a chared drive from a XP box.

I guess I need to :
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/backup /backup

but I need to put in the password as the share is asking for it (unless there's a way to stop that..)

Then unmount the share when the script is completed

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

ok, after playing around a bit, and fixing a corrupted hosts file (my god what a nightmare but good newbie excersize !).

The command from root to mount is :
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/FedoraBKUP /XP -o rw -o pass=mypass

so how do i put this in fstab in order for the mount to always start when the box boots up?

Two tutorials re /etc/fstab
