I'm using Trinity 3.5.13.2 that was installed with exe GNU linux.
I have a bash script to mount a shared folder from a remote server and open it in a window. I launch it from a desktop icon. It looks like this:
sudo mount 192.168.0.2:/home/dpjungk/Share /mnt/nfs/client1 nautilus /mnt/nfs/client1
It works fine -- except that, if I close the window and want to reopen it, it obviously asks for the password every time.
Is there a way to check to see if it is mounted so that it only asks for the password if it is the first time?
You already received a lot of replies about how to check if its mounted, but i think the better way would be to either put a relevant line in fstab with a user flag so you can avoid sudo or (even better) set up an automounter (i use autofs, but there are others).

Hi Nick, Actually, the first thing I did was put the line in fstab. Curiously, it would not mount the shared folder at boot time, but after it was booted, I could mount it with 'mount -a'. I thought maybe fstab was being read before the ethernet connection was established.
But, I didn't pursue this because the remote folder is not always available at bot time. Depends on which computer is booted first. So I still needed to mount it later, which I do have now.
The autofs looks like it might be helpful. Thank you for mentioning it.
