Hi,

I'm currently experimenting with a script-created map and face the following two problems:

- After the script rewrites the map, I need to kill -HUP the corresponding automount to reread the map, the documentation says the daemon would read a changed map on next access of the directory?

- Unfortunately there exists the possibility, that the script might leave the map empty. The corresponding automount process will then exit. Is there perhaps some comment convention or anything else I could do to keep the automount process running?

How can I solve this? The man-pages don't document the exit on empty map (or at least I haven't found a corresponding statement). What exactly triggers the rereading of file maps?

Thanks for any input on how to improve on the described situations.

Regards,
        Thomas Jahns
