I have a bit of a problem. We are using automounter to share disks
amoung machines. All is well except... when I add a disk to auto.direct,
I have to restart nfsmount on all my machines for the disk to mount. I
have a manager's script which I try to rsh to each machine and run the
commands:
/sbin/init.d/nfsmount/nfsmount stop
/sbin/init.d/nfsmount/nfsmount start
Problem is the nfsmount script never returns control to the shell for
the second command to run. If I just run the start, same thing. If I run
the /sbin/init.d/nfsmount/nfsmount commands from the command line on
each machine , they complete and return to the prompt. Why won't the
same thing happen form another shell?
Is this type of action typical of all startup scripts?
Thanks in advance for your help.
