Hi all  - Quick question I couldn't find an answer to in the archives.

Servers A and B store user homes, Server C is a web server that automounts those homes on boot and makes available user Sites folders through apache. If either A or B is rebooted and C is not, those Site folders become inaccessible, since the mount is broken.

The question is, is there a command I can run that will re-initiate the same mount connection that occurs at boot time, so I can restore the mounts on C without restarting the server? 

`mount` doesn't work?

I see that I can build map files and pass them to the automount command., but am thinking there must be an easier way - a command that will reproduce whatever mount process is normally run during boot.

I'd like to set up some kind of automated job to check for the mounts and re-mount the broken connections if necessary.

Couldn't you always have the rebooted host (A/B) send a ssh request to the client (C) to issue a mount or restart automount??
