Thanks Larry for your help.
I managed to get the posted solution partially working and it is exactly what I was looking for. I only cannot get the shell script to run as a service. The service will attempt to start then fail, but it is really running. Does "exec" fork a process?
I have tried both methods and .bash_login method although simpler is not a feasible solution in my situation. The reason is I am calling "ssh <sever> <command>", so the auto scripts do not run as I never go into the bash shell.
Thank you,
Robin

The thread you reference isn't doing anything more to remap the drives
than you are manually. It's just automating the process. If that's all you
need , then just put the "net use <foo> <bar>" in your .bash_login or other
convenient spot that gets run each time you login. The process described
above is just a more complicated way of getting here, albeit with certain
advantages (it won't remap your drives every time you invoke bash -l).
