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

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.
