Hi, All,

I have written a perl script that reads in a list of workstation names and checks the system load of each. After probing each system (Linux workstations), it auto-derives the one with the lightest load and completes by automatically logging the user into that system.

It works great 90% of the time, but sometimes a user gets automatically logged into a system that doesn't have his or her home directory mounted. How can I perform a simple check to make sure a user's home directory is mounted to a specific system?

Assume the worst: I only know the user's login name and the workstation to probe (i.e. I don't even know which NFS volume possesses the user's home...)

Thanks!

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
