(Sorry for the long time in getting back to everyone.  Busy in
other areas.)

Yeah, that's good food for thought.  Drieux had some pointers too.

I can't just check for certain filesystems, I have to "know" what is
mounted at a given time...  But the fact that there is NFS server/
client game where they no longer make nice - well, I need to discover
that before issuing the df cmd, methinks.  I suppose I could check
the log for error messages, but that is frought with other problems.

Guess I'll need to keep mulling; maybe that ah-ha! moment will come
to me soon...

Thanks,
deb
