AUTOFS(8)                                                            AUTOFS(8)



NAME
       /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs - Control Script for automounter

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs start|stop|reload|status

DESCRIPTION
       autofs  control the operation of the automount(8) daemons running on the Linux sys-
       tem. Usually autofs is invoked at system boot time with the start parameter and  at
       shutdown  time  with  the  stop  parameter.  The autofs script can also manually be
       invoked by the system administrator to shut down, restart or reload  the  automoun-
       ters.


OPERATION
       autofs  will  consult a configuration file /etc/auto.master (see auto.master(5)) to
       find mount points on the system. For each of those mount points a automount(8) pro-
       cess  is  started  with  the appropriate parameters. You can check the active mount
       points for the automounter with the /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs status command. If  the
       auto.master configuration file contains a line of the form

       +map [options]

       then the script will check for an NIS map with the same name.  If such a map exists
       then that map will be processed in the same way as the auto.master  map,  with  any
       optional arguments.

       /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs  reload will check the current auto.master map against run-
       ning daemons. It will kill those daemons whose entries have changed and then  start
       daemons for new or changed entries.

       If  a  map  is  modified  then the change will become effective immediately. If the
       auto.master map is modified then the autofs script must be rerun  to  activate  the
       changes.

       /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs status will display the current configuration and a list of
       currently running automount daemons.
