I'm new to unix.I would like to write a script to mount a server but mount is a root command and the user does not have permissions to mount.

Can anyone help?

You must be root to mount file systems on a machine.

In order to do that, your sys admin will have to have given you permission to use sudo or something like that to run the mount command with. Only the super-user is allowed to mount/umount filesystems.

With most kernels, suid and sgid do not work with shell scripts. So I agree with doeboy that you are going to need to use sudo to run your script.
