My purpose in doing this is to automount an USB drive. http://www.autofs.org has much information, but if you want to mount it using a script, specify a script in the /etc/auto.master file. For the scripts I adapted, I used this tutorial, which does much more than what you want, but you should be able to simplify it: http://www.einval.com/~steve/docs/gpg-autofs.html Please let me know if you want some more specific information, but the autofs website should be sufficient; the latter is much more detailed for a specific task, and mostly unneeded, IMHO.
