contents

• README.md - this file
• LICENCE.txt - GPL v3
• fix_mounts.sh - ensures autofs mounts are mounted by a user and not 'root'
• org.autonomous.fixmounts.plist - a macOS plist which runs the fix_mounts every 15 secs

fix mounts

Put the fix_mounts.sh file somewhere safe. /Users/yourusername/bin is a good spot. Edit the top part of the shell file to customise it to your environment. See the comments in the file.

Put the org.autonomous.fixmounts.plist file in /Libraries/LaunchDaemons:

sudo cp org.autonomous.fixmounts.plist /Libraries/LaunchDaemons

sudo chmod 644 /Libraries/LaunchDaemons/org.autonomous.fixmounts.plist

sudo vi /Libraries/LaunchDaemons/org.autonomous.fixmounts.plist

    #(edit the 'ProgramArguments' string value /path/to/fix_mounts.sh 
    #to point to the path where you put the shell script, 
    #e.g. /Users/yourusername/bin/fix_mounts.sh)

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.autonomous.fixmounts.plist 

sudo tail -F /var/log/fixmounts.log

	#(or view the log in /var/log/fixmounts.log with the Console)
