  There is one better way to restart the automounter:
  "send a SIGTERM (kill  -15) signal to the automount daemon".

  I usually do it in this way:

  % kill -15 `ps ax|grep automount|grep -v grep|awk '{print $1}'`;automount


        Any ideas, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
