On an FC4 client, I'm mounting an smbfs filesystem over the network. In /etc/fstab, I have

The user's .bash_profile contains the actual mount command, which goes off without a hitch. Consequently, the user can issue
$ umount /mount/point
when necessary.
It's all well and good, until the user connects to the FC4 client twice, and runs two xterms which both source .bash_profile.
Now the mount command has been issued twice, so here's what happens:
Should script such that the share isn't mounted unless it isn't already mounted.
something like -
#!/bin/bash MOUNT='/bin/mount' MOUNTPOINT='/mount/point' if [ "`$MOUNT | grep "$MOUNTPOINT"`" = "" ] then mount /mount/point fi
