Autorun.sh script to mount CD and run .bin file
 

Hi,
I am a newbie to Linux platform and shell scripting. I am looking for a autorun.sh script which should mount a CDROM and then run a setup.bin script located inside a folder - /linux/setup.bin .
I want to include this autorun.sh script on my CDROM. Can anyone help ?
Thanks

You can certainly create such a scipt, but you cannot make it "auto run." That property is a function of the computer mounting the CD. The target machine, for example, would have to be set to auto-mount the CD, and then check for the auto run script. Both KDE and GNOME, among several, can enable software to do this "auto mount and run (or play music or whatever); but most of the linux users in my linux group turn this functionality off.

Take a look at the userspace daemon autorun:

It may be what you want.
