automount
AUTOMOUNT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual AUTOMOUNT(8)
NAME
automount -- mount autofs on the appropriate mount points
SYNOPSIS
automount [-v] [-c] [-u] [-t timeout]
DESCRIPTION
automount reads the /etc/auto_master file, and any local or network maps it includes, and mounts autofs on the appropriate mount points to
cause mounts to be triggered. It will also attempt to unmount any top-level autofs mounts that correspond to maps no longer found.
OPTIONS
-v Print more detailed information about actions taken by automount.
-c Tell automountd(8) to flush any cached information it has.
-u Unmount all non-busy automounted mounts. Top-level triggers are preserved.
-t timeout
Set to timeout seconds the time after which an automounted file system will be unmounted if it hasn't been referred to within that
period of time. The default is 10 minutes (600 seconds).
FILES
/etc/autofs.conf
configuration file for automount and automountd.
/etc/auto_master
The master map contains a list of directories to be controlled by autofs and their associated direct map or indirect maps.
