Starting Amd
============
Amd is best started from `/etc/rc.local':
if [ -f /etc/amd.start ]; then
sh /etc/amd.start; (echo -n ' amd') >/dev/console
fi
The shell script, `amd.start', contains:
#!/bin/sh -
PATH=/etc:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:$PATH export PATH
#
# Either name of logfile or "syslog"
#
LOGFILE=syslog
#LOGFILE=/var/log/amd
#
# Figure out whether domain name is in host name
# If the hostname is just the machine name then
# pass in the name of the local domain so that the
# hostnames in the map are domain stripped correctly.
#
case `hostname` in
*.*) dmn= ;;
*) dmn='-d doc.ic.ac.uk'
esac
#
# Zap earlier log file
#
case "$LOGFILE" in
*/*)
mv "$LOGFILE" "$LOGFILE"-
> "$LOGFILE"
;;
syslog)
: nothing
;;
esac
cd /usr/sbin
#
# -r restart
# -d dmn local domain
# -w wait wait between unmount attempts
# -l log logfile or "syslog"
#
eval ./amd -r $dmn -w 240 -l "$LOGFILE" \
/homes amd.homes -cache:=inc \
/home amd.home -cache:=inc \
/vol amd.vol -cache:=inc \
/n amd.net -cache:=inc
If the list of automount points and maps is contained in a file or
NIS map it is easily incorporated onto the command line:
...
eval ./amd -r $dmn -w 240 -l "$LOGFILE" `ypcat -k auto.master`
