MOUNTFS.CMD Documentation 7/7/95
This is a Rexx Utility to unmount and remount NFS (Network File System)
drives under OS/2. It is useful on OS/2 workstations using Warp Connect or
OS/2 2.x or Warp with IBM TCP/IP and the NFS kit.
MOUNTFS is useful if some NFS drives have been unmounted or the FSTAB file
has been modified and the user then desires to mount only those drives
listed in the current FSTAB. Rather than issue a series of UMOUNT and MOUNT
commands or restart TCP/IP, he/she can simply use MOUNTFS.
Installation: copy the file MOUNTFS.CMD to a directory on your OS/2 path.
Usage: simply type MOUNTFS. The program performs the following action:
- Locates the FSTAB file by using the ETC environment variable.
The FSTAB file contains the default MOUNT commands for the
OS/2 NFS client.
- Parses the FSTAB file to extract the relevant MOUNT commands.
- Issues a "UMOUNT *" command to unmount all presently mounted NFS drives.
- Remounts the drives listed in FSTAB.
Remarks:
1. MOUNTFS is freeware. Users are free to redistribute it, modify it, etc.
If you modify and redistribute, please indicate yourself as the
author and refer to this original program & author.
2. MOUNTFS is offered with NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND NOR ANY REPRESENTATION
THAT IT WILL BE USEFUL FOR ANY PURPOSE. THE USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
ASCERTAINING WHETHER MOUNTFS WILL BE USEFUL AND/OR HARMFUL TO HIS
OWN COMPUTER SYSTEM. The Rexx source is provided.
3. MOUNTFS has been developed and used under Warp. Unless IBM has made
unexpected changes to the TCP/IP in Warp Connect, it should work fine
there, also. If you find out it doesn't, please advise the author.
