/etc/autofs.conf
configuration file for automount and automountd.
automount8
Mount autofs on the appropriate mount points
Usage
automount [-v]
[-c]
[-u]
[-t
timeout]
Overview
automount reads the /etc/auto_master file, and any local or network maps it includes, and mounts autofs on the appropriate mount points to cause mounts to be triggered. If the auto_master file does not exist or is empty and a Directory Service is configured, the service will be queried for an auto_master map. It will also attempt to unmount any top-level autofs mounts that correspond to maps no longer found.
