ok say I'd like to add a line in /etc/network/interface , and create an executable script called mountsmbfs.sh , do you think something like this would work , and can someone help me with the syntax thanks
overall requirements, after wlan0 is up, check status to ensure it's functional, also check what the SSID is so I don't try to mount shares when I'm on a differnet AP, then mount shares and exit
I'm looking to do something like this because when I set my laptops acpi management mode to standby/suspend when the lid is closed, upon opening the lid again the samba shares are lost, and I'd like them to remount when the nic comes back up.
If anyone else has a better idea that would be great
Thanks in Advance

Code:
# The loopback interface iface lo inet loopback # The first network card iface wlan0 inet dhcp pre-up wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D hostap -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf pre-up sleep 5 post-up /<pathtoscript>/mountsmbfs.sh
Code:
#! /bin/bash X="up" Y="MyWAPname" if [$X == wlan0 status && $Y == $SSID #not sure how to do this yet];then mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /mountdirectory > credentials=/home/myhomedirectory/.smbpasswd dmask=777 fmask=777 else null fi exit
