hi there, not really sure if this is appropriate for this list, or if i should be sending it to the samba lists. i'll try here first.
i have a samba server which serves a few windows machines, and i also use it via sharity-light from my freebsd machine running 4.10 RELEASE. i have a script that loads my shares, and i put it in my rc.d folder (i've taken out the user and password info):
#!/bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/shlight //cessna/http /usr/home/iain/development/http/ -U * -u * -g wheel -f 775 -d 775 -P * /usr/local/sbin/shlight //cessna/http_inertia /usr/home/iain/development/http_inertia/ -U * -u * -g wheel -f 775 -d 775 -P * /usr/local/sbin/shlight //cessna/music /usr/home/iain/music -U * -u * -g wheel -f 775 -d 775 -P * /usr/local/sbin/shlight //cessna/dools /usr/home/iain/dools_network -U * -u * -g wheel -f 775 -d 775 -P *
it runs fine when i start up freebsd, but when i login, i don't have access to the shares. so i put the call to the script inside my .tcshrc file, but this means that, even if i login remotely, and every time i start a new konsole session or scp something, this script runs.
does anyone have any clues as to why it wouldn't have access to the shares after running this script from inside rc.d? i really only want it to run when the machine starts up, not every time i login.
cheers

I dont really know that programm, but guesing I would say the script runs at some time where some condition it needs is not fullfilled like maybe before networking is up. Maybe you should have the read up of the rc.d starting proccess that I need ;)
Or you just leave it in you .tcshrc file and work with a lock file. Meaning when you run that script you do something like " if ![ -x ~/.smblock ]; then touch ~/.smblock (insert rest of your script)"
okay, thanks for that idea. just for the purpose of closing the issue online, i ended up with a file called 'load_shares.sh':
if ! [ -f /full/path/to/home/.smblock ]; then
touch /full/path/to/home/.smblock
shlight.sh #this is my script that uses sharity light to mount samba
shares
fiand put a call to load_shares.sh in .tcshrc (i like to avoid actually scripting for any shell other than sh). i then created a script called 'turnoff.sh':
if [ -f /full/path/to/home/.smblock ]; then
rm -rf /full/path/to/home/.smblock
fi
sudo shutdown -h nowso long as i use turnoff.sh to shutdown my machine every time, my samba shares will be loaded the first time i login, but not reloaded unless i have actually shutdown the machine.
thanks for your help
