The system is used to collect data in the field by non technical people. The process is currently: * Power on the GTA (appliance exporting NFS share to /mnt/ta-data * Power on the data collection device (Linux based on Ubuntu 20.04) The GTA takes some time to start up and there is a start up procedure of starting the GTA and waiting 5 minutes before starting the data collection device, however I would like to remove people from the process completely. What I'm trying to achieve: * Data collection device boots up * Mounts the NFS drive on /data * Start the mission service once /data is mounted and available. I hope this clarifies things. Kind regards Henti
