I joint the mail list, but I don't get copies of the list yet. Please do
"CC" my email address in replies.
Julien hinted that my last posting is strange. I try to reformulate my problem.
Our sys admin exports NIS maps in amd format. I wrote a small perl script to
convert these maps into autofs commands. The result is of the form of
the following script:
##script auto.vlsi ##
local -rw,bg,rsize=8192,wsize=16384 nets1:/iss/local1
Linux :/vlsi/local/Linux
I use the perl script to produce the entries OnTheFly, but the bug is the same
in the above example.
This script is used by the automount daemon to mount
/vlsi/local whenever it is needed.
But /vlsi/all is only mountable if /vlsi/local/share exists already.

Hmm.. A symlink is what I want, but I don't know what happens..

Yes! If you can tell me how to access /vlsi/local/Linux from within the perl
script, I am happy.
I tried a 'chdir /vlsi/local/Linux':
- if the script is called as stand-alone script, this access causes the
directory to be mounted.
- if the script is called from within the automount process, an error
'directory not found' is produced.

:-) Is it?
I have two solutions to my problem in mind:
- changing the output of the script to cause the automounter to mount
/vlsi/local first
- forcing an access to /vlsi/local to do the same.
I was unable to do any of above.
Any hint would be gratefully accepted :-)
