Thank you Nadeem, will check out this script and revert in case of it not
working, etc.
Regards Kshitiz
All mounted filesystems have an entry in
/proc/mounts. Your script can
take advantage of this.
if ! grep -q /backup /proc/mounts; then
if ! mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /backup; then
exit 1; # Mount failed, bail out
fi
fi
another non-portable way of checking it is df -l.

NMK.
