Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] running script only if USB is mounted

Thank you Binand Reg Kshitiz
Before running the rsync copying script, I want
to
a) Add some statement that would check if the external harddisk is
attached and mounted.
b) If not, it should be mounted before the copying script is run to
copy only to this external disk.
c) If it is not mounted, mount should be attempted, and if it does not
mount, rsync copying command should not be executed.
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
# Regular stuff here
