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

I'd recommend:

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).
