Filesystems are mounted on demand when they are first referenced, and unmounted after a period of inactivity. \par\mbox{}\par \Amd\ may be used as a replacement for Sun's automounter. The choice of which filesystem to mount can be controlled dynamically with {\em selectors}. Selectors allow decisions of the form ``hostname is {\em this}\,'' or ``architecture is not {\em that}.'' Selectors may be combined arbitrarily. \Amd\ also supports a variety of filesystem types, including \NFS, \UFS\ and the novel {\em program} filesystem. The combination of selectors and multiple filesystem types allows identical configuration files to be used on all machines so reducing the administrative overhead. \Amd\ ensures that it will not hang if a remote server goes down. Moreover, \amd\ can determine when a remote server has become inaccessible and then mount replacement filesystems as and when they become available. \par\mbox{}\par \Amd\ contains no proprietary source code and has been ported to numerous flavours of \Unix. \typeout{Lee says ``This documentation needs rewriting!''} %\ifarticle\else \newpage \vspace*{30pt} %{\large %\parindent 0pt %WARNING: %%warnings go here %}\par \vspace{4in} {\parindent 0pt This document describes release ``\VERSION'' of \amd\ (also known as \AKAVERSION).\par \vskip 1ex Copyright \copyright\ 1989 Jan-Simon Pendry\\ Copyright \copyright\ 1989 Imperial College of Science, Technology \& Medicine\\ Copyright \copyright\ 1989 The Regents of the University of California. \vskip 1ex All Rights Reserved. \vskip 1ex \begin{flushleft} Permission to copy this document, or any portion of it, as\\ necessary for use of this software is granted provided this\\ copyright notice and statement of permission are included. \end{flushleft} } %\fi %!article \end{titlepage} \setheader{\vbox{\hbox to\hsize{\rightmark\hfill\thepage}\vskip 2pt\hrule}} %\setbothheaders %{\vbox{\hbox to\hsize{\thepage\hfill\leftmark}\vskip 2pt\hrule}}% %{\vbox{\hbox to\hsize{\rightmark\hfill\thepage}\vskip 2pt\hrule}} %\setfooter{\hfil\Edition\ Edition {\DRAFT}\hfil} \setfooter{\hfil{\DRAFT}\hfil} %\setbothfooters %{\thepage\hfil\Edition\ Edition {\DRAFT}}% %{\Edition\ Edition {\DRAFT}\hfil\thepage} %\setchapterfoot{\thepage\hfil\Edition\ Edition {\DRAFT}\hfil\thepage} %\setchapterfoot{\Edition\ Edition {\DRAFT}\hfil\thepage} \setchapterfoot{{\DRAFT}\hfil\thepage\hfil} \ifarticle\else \tableofcontents \fi
