rmnttry(1M)           (Remote File Sharing Utilities)           rmnttry(1M)


   NAME
         rmnttry - attempt to mount queued remote resources

   SYNOPSIS
         /etc/rfs/rmnttry [resource ...]

   DESCRIPTION
         rmnttry sequences through the pending mount requests stored in
         /etc/rfs/rmnttab, trying to mount each resource.  If a mount
         succeeds, the resource entry is removed from the /etc/rfs/rmnttab
         file.

         If one or more resource names are supplied, mounts are attempted only
         for those resources, rather than for all pending mounts.  Mounts are
         not attempted for resources not present in the /etc/rfs/rmnttab file
         (see rmount(1M)).  If a mount invoked from rmnttry takes over 3
         minutes to complete, rmnttry aborts the mount and issues a warning
         message.

         rmnttry is typically invoked from a cron entry in
         /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root to attempt mounting queued resources at
         periodic intervals.  The default strategy is to attempt mounts at 15
         minute intervals.  The cron entry for this is:

                   10,25,40,55 * * * * /etc/rfs/rmnttry >/dev/null

   FILES
         /etc/rfs/rmnttab  pending mount requests

   DIAGNOSTICS
         An exit code of 0 is returned if all requested mounts succeeded, 1 is
         returned if one or more mounts failed, and 2 is returned for bad
         usage.
