AutoMount V1.3
By: Khalid Aldoseri.
AutoMount will automatically 'mount' all the entries in your
'DEVS:Mountlist' file.
It will attempt to mount each device it sees in the mountlist
file, except for the RES?: partitions. Also, if a device has already
been mounted, AutoMount will not complain.
The main reason for this program is to shorten your startup-sequence
file.
Usage:
Just add a line to your startup-sequence called 'AutoMount'.
Place 'AutoMount' in your c: directory.
Make sure that you have the 'Mount' command in your directory.
And then remove that long list of Mount's in your startup-sequence.
(grin).
AutoMount can also be used directly from the CLI.
If you do not want a device to be automounted, add the following line
to the mountlist "/* DO NOT AUTOMOUNT */" (without the quotes, and
all in caps.) This line can be anywhere between the line with the
'#' of the previous device and the name of the device you want to
ignore. Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPEAK:
Handler = L:Speak-Handler
Stacksize = 6000
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
#
/* DO NOT AUTOMOUNT */
AUX:
Handler = L:Aux-Handler
Stacksize = 1000
Priority = 5
#
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this example, the AUX: device will not be mounted. If the device to
be ignored is the first one in the list, just add the line before it.
Another Method of using it is:
AutoMount AUX: SPEAK: NEWCON: .......
This is faster than the normal mode. You just specify what you want to
mount after the name of the program in CLI or in your startup-sequence.
Comments, suggestions, complaints, etc. are welcome.
Enjoy,
