LinuxQuestions.org - Question of syntax

Hi there --

The code listed below is an excerpt from a script that I am writing. The goal is to verify that a directory on a remote server is available to the local system. If that is not the case, a log file is written, and all filesystems that were previous unmounted, are remounted on the local system.

Code:

# # Unmount all NFS mounts prior to the archive process.

umount -a -t nfs



# Mount the remote directory (NFS) prior to running the make_net_recovery script.

# Make sure there is a <remote server> folder located in the /mnt directory. If it is

# not already there, create one. 

mount <remote server>:/<local system> /mnt/<remote server>



# Verify the remote directory (NFS) is available. This directory is needed

# as it is the destination for the iso images. If it is not available, stop

# here, and write the results to a log file.

df |grep <remote server> > /dev/null

RC=$?

echo $RC



if [ ${RC} -eq 0 ]

then

echo successful

else

echo not successful >> /tmp/make_net_backup.log && mount -a

exit

fi

Is the syntax shown above correct? Thanks.
