Sure, I'd like to see it. I've been testing various mods to the whole thing because I couldn't get it to work reliably, i.e. the loop waiting for the unmount would work when run directly from the shell, but not when run from a systemd service. I think it's working now (or nearly) but all contributions are welcome.
Well, I saw no difference running things from a shell or as a service. So, I can't comment.
Anyway, see the included tar. As usual, mine is nfs mount.
The mount starts dock-down2.timer which runs once/minute. You can change that. When unmount is noticed, the "touch" will signify it and the timer will be stopped.
I attach the current version for comparison.
I really didn't look too much at it. Seems like you are doing more in the dock script than I thought was needed.
I'll take a look. In the meantime, I've done some tests using inotifywait on the mounted directory (/raid) and it seems like the periodic checking for an active mount can be avoided.
Just to not leave this hanging: I've implemented the unmount detection using "inotifywait -e unmount /raid", which does what I need without using a polling loop.
There is currently an additional problem with the actually device control, but I'll describe that in a separate thread.
Thanks again for your interest Ed.
