RMNTTRY(1M) (Remote File Sharing Utilities) RMNTTRY(1M)
NAME
rmnttry - attempt to mount queued remote resources
SYNOPSIS
/usr/nserve/rmnttry [resource ...]
DESCRIPTION
rmnttry sequences through the pending mount requests stored
in /usr/nserve/rmnttab, trying to mount each resource. If a
mount succeeds, the resource entry is removed from the
/usr/nserve/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 /usr/nserve/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
/usr/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 * * * * /usr/nserve/rmnttry >/dev/null
FILES
/usr/nserve/rmnttab pending mount requests

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