[G4] Servers

[Jim Pacyga]

Yes, if the servers in question are also up at the time of reboot you 
could put a startup item in the /System/Library/StartupItems folder 
that would use the native Linux commands to re-attach them. One of the 
issues with this though is that while you would be attached to the 
servers (i.e., they will be in the /Volumes directory), there would not 
be icons on your desktop for them (I did this once a while back on 
10.1.x).

Perhaps someone knows how to kick Darwin to add the icons.

In either way- the commands you would want to use are in the directory 
/sbin.  You would use the ones appropriate to the type of file system 
you are attaching to:

/sbin/mount_afp	 - apple file protocol
/sbin/mount_smbfs 	 - samba

etc....

You can get command descriptions from "man" (e.g., man mount_afp) in 
the terminal window.
