You'd have to modify supermounts source to not only
mount a cd-rom media but also look for a given file/
file-contents to achieve that. On "normal" distro's
(such without that silly auto-mounting feature, that is ;})
there's no way ... you'd have a to write a daemon yourself
that queries the state of the CD-ROM drive (disk/no disk)
and then trigger appropriate action.

On second thought: someone might have been silly
enough, go search on http://freshmeat.net or
http://sourceforge.net

Cheers,
Tink

Hi

Thanks but I'm newbie in Linux. I use Red Hat 9 with Gnome, and when I introduce a CD, it is mounted automaticaly, but what I want is to create a CD, and when it runs instead of see the files and folders (opened automaticaly) to see the executable file that I heve created (named menu).

I see in the autorun help file

-a, --autorun=EXEC
Execute EXEC, if the CD changes. This executable
must be located on the CD. I.e. if you specify
"--autorun=myprogram", and your CD is mounted under
/mnt/cdrom, after the CD is changed, autorun will
attempt to run "/mnt/cdrom/myprogram". (default
"/autorun")

but where or how can i use it.

--Thanks and excuse me for my ignorance--
