# Remount Checker
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is a very simple program to check if a particular folder is a mounted folder or not. If it's not, run the mount command - simple!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## ``mount_points``
|
||||||
|
You *need* a ``mount_points.py`` file. The ``example_mount_points.py`` provides an example format (it's a touple - first element is the folder to check, second element is the command to run).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## ``mount`` command
|
||||||
|
You'll need to make sure that the ``cron``user (can't think of the exact correct term - the user that cron _pretends_(?) to be when runnign the command??) is able to actually run the mount command. There are 2 simple options that I can see:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Use ``sudo crontab -e`` and make ``root`` use run the command, or
|
||||||
|
2. Make your user able to run the mount command. I'm sorry I don't know 100%, but I think that means adding ``user`` to the mount options in ``fstab``.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## crontab
|
||||||
|
The idea is you should run this is crontab every X minutes - 5 seems to work fine for me. An example crontab is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/python /home/<USER>/code/remount_checker/remount.py``
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Replace <USER> (and the rest) with the location of remount
