automountsearch for term

A Linux/UNIX command. The automount program is used to configure a mount point for autofs, the inlined Linux automounter. Automount works by taking a base mount-point and map file, and using these (combined with other options) to automatically mount filesystems within the base mount-point when they are accessed in any way. The filesystems are then auto-unmounted after a period of inactivity.
