AUTOFS(8)                                                            AUTOFS(8)



NAME
       /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs - Control Script for automounter

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs start|stop|restart|reload|status

DESCRIPTION
       autofs  control the operation of the automount(8) daemons running on the Linux sys-
       tem. Usually autofs is invoked at system boot time with the start parameter and  at
       shutdown  time  with  the  stop  parameter.  The autofs script can also manually be
       invoked by the system administrator to shut down, restart or reload  the  automoun-
       ters.


OPERATION
       autofs  will  consult a configuration file /etc/auto.master (see auto.master(5)) by
       default to find mount points on the system. For each of those  mount  points  auto-
       mount(8)  will mount and start a thread, with the appropriate parameters, to manage
       the mount point.

       /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs reload will check the current auto.master map against  run-
       ning  daemons. It will kill those daemons whose entries have changed and then start
       daemons for new or changed entries.

       If a map is modified then the change will  become  effective  immediately.  If  the
       auto.master  map  is  modified then the autofs script must be rerun to activate the
       changes.

       /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs status will display the status of, automount(8) ,running or
       not.
