    <p>I've written a small script that ping's an address and then mounts the device at that address if the ping returned successful. The file is located in rc.local on a Ubuntu Linux System.</p> <p>It works great if run from a terminal (as root), but won't run from rc.local at boot. I know it's being executed because /tmp/buffalo_mount.log contains "Executing Network Device Detect Script From rc.local". Anyone got any ideas?</p> <p>NOTE: <strong>Now working!</strong> Please read notes below :-)</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. ADDRESS=192.168.1.101 DATETIME="$(date)" LOGFILE="/tmp/buffalo_mount.log" sleep 30s echo "Executing Network Device Detect Script From rc.local" &gt;&gt; $LOGFILE if /bin/ping -c 1 -t 1 $ADDRESS &gt; /tmp/ping 2&gt;&amp;1 ;then # check the exit code echo "$ADDRESS is LIVE "+$DATETIME &gt;&gt; $LOGFILE # display the output # Ping reply was good, so run the mount command. echo "Slept, now mounting device" &gt;&gt; $LOGFILE /bin/mount /media/Buffalo/Acer-laptop-back_in_time else echo "$ADDRESS is DEAD "+$DATETIME &gt;&gt; $LOGFILE fi </code></pre> <p>Then I had to edit the '/etc/fstab' file so the fstab knows about the mount, but doesn't mount until told to by my script above, using the '<strong>noauto</strong>' parameter. My example in fstab is:-</p> <pre><code>//192.168.1.101/back-in-time/ /media/Buffalo/Acer-laptop-back_in_time cifs **noauto**,guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode,_netdev 0 0 </code></pre> <p>Really hope this help someone because it was driving me nuts. Thanks to all those that helped.</p>

    2. COafaik rc.local *should* run after all other init scripts, and thus also after the network is up. Nevertheless: do you get the $ADRESS is DEAD message in your log?

    3. CONo. I only get the "Executing Network Device Detect Script From rc.local" message. Although the LIVE/DEAD message works from root terminal.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
