Re-Mapping Printers.
Hi we have a situation where some printers are on a server that sometimes has to be rebooted. If this happens the Unix boxes we have that are referencing the printers in the vfstab file fail to work even when the print server is brought back up. Does anyone know if it would be possible to put them into a shell script to run if the print server goes down and how I would convert whats in the vfstan file to what I should put in a shell script.

Thanks in advance for any help.

server1:/vol/printer1 - /var/spool/printer1 nfs - yes rw
server1:/vol/printer2 - /var/spool/printer2 nfs - yes rw
server2:/vol/printer3 - /var/spool/printer3 nfs - yes rw
server2:/vol/printer4 - /var/spool/printer4 nfs - yes rw
server2:/vol/printer5 - /var/spool/printer5 nfs - yes rw
