-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would like to create a short script to mount and unmount SCXC cards. For these exfat cards to do either in Jessie has to be done as root.
I have set up sudo so that my user can run any command as root. the following command will mount the card without asking for my password. sudo mount -U 6238-3434 /media/xca (My file /etc/fstab contains the following line: UUID-6238-3434 /media/xca exfat rw,users,noauto,noatime 0 0) In order to automate the process I wrote the following script named mxca : #!/bin/bash # Script to mount xca from any directory. CURPWD=$PWD cd /home/ken sudo mount -U 6238-3434 /media/xca cd $CURPWD Running mxca alone does not produce the required result. Running sudo mxca together however does, even though the sudo command is also in the script. I can unmount the card by running command sudo umount /media/xca, but I would like a similar script named uxca to do the same thing for unmounting. Is there a way to make sudo do its thing in these scripts so that I can mount and unmount the SDXC card by running the script commands mxca and uxca by themselves?
