[ -f /full/path/to/home/.smblock ]; then touch /full/path/to/home/.smblock shlight.sh #this is my script that uses sharity light to mount samba shares fi and put a call to load_shares.sh in .tcshrc (i like to avoid actually scripting for any shell other than sh). i then created a script called 'turnoff.sh': if [ -f /full/path/to/home/.smblock ]; then rm -rf /full/path/to/home/.smblock fi sudo shutdown -h now so long as i use turnoff.sh to shutdown my machine every time, my samba shares will be loaded the first time i login, but not reloaded unless i have actually shutdown the machine. thanks for your help iain
