NAME
     rmnttry - attempt to mount queued remote resources

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/rfs/rmnttry [resource ...]

DESCRIPTION
     rmnttry sequences through the pending mount requests  stored
     in  /etc/rfs/rmnttab,  trying  to mount each resource.  If a
     mount succeeds, the  resource  entry  is  removed  from  the
     /etc/rfs/rmnttab  file.   If  one or more resource names are
     supplied, mounts are attempted  only  for  those  resources,
     rather   than  for  all  pending  mounts.   Mounts  are  not
     attempted for resources not present in the  /etc/rfs/rmnttab
     file  (see  rmount(1M)).   If  a  mount invoked from rmnttry
     takes over 3 minutes to complete, rmnttry aborts  the  mount
     and  issues a warning message.  rmnttry is typically invoked
     from  a  cron  entry  in  /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root   to
     attempt  mounting  queued  resources  at periodic intervals.
     The default strategy is  to  attempt  mounts  at  15  minute
     intervals.  The cron entry for this is:

               10,25,40,55 * * * * /etc/rfs/rmnttry >/dev/null

FILES
     /etc/rfs/rmnttab    pending mount requests

DIAGNOSTICS
     An exit code of 0 is returned if all requested  mounts  suc-
     ceeded, 1 is returned if one or more mounts failed, and 2 is
     returned for bad usage.
