Does anyone have sample source for a program that checks to see if an
NFS mounted drive is valid?

What I need is a way to check to make sure that the server is alive
and that I can read/write the drive from PC-NFS.  I am writing an
automated system that will be reading/writing an NFS mounted drive
from about 2000 miles away.  If the NFS mounted drive is not valid for
any reason I can't have the machine sit there saying Abort, Retry or
Ignore.

Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreceiated.

Jim
