bash script to check if mounted, and mount if not

I'd like to make a wrapper bash script that will make sure that an nfs mount is mounted before launching a program that depends on the mount being active. Basically:

1) Check to see if the mount is active
2) If it's not active, try to mount it
3) If it won't mount because the nfs server is down, wait 45 s then try again looping indefinitely until the nfs server is up
4) Once the mount is active, run a program and exit

Can someone help me out? Here is the line to the mount in question from my /etc/fstab

Code:

192.168.2.14:/share /mnt/share nfs defaults,auto,noatime 0 0
