Hi there As I'm into Java but have inherited a perl script for backups can anyone relate to me how in perl you tell if a mount succeeds?
eg. smbmount of a PC's remote HDD to /mnt/remotedisk How do I tell in perl-speak (ie without rewriting the whole thing in Java) that the mount point succeeded. I'm happy to put a file on the remote HDD and search for it's existence or some such. If the mount fails, the root filesystem on the server fills as the backup proceeds to /mnt/remotedisk. Aarrrgh.
