Shalom Jees,

It has to go into a configuration file. You can't do it on the fly.

Add it to /etc/exports, or add it to smb.conf restart the perspective daemon.

You can use a cron or at job to return the configuration job to its prior state.

Make a copy of /etc/exports

cp /etc/exports /root/exports.tmp

Edit it, add your share.

Script:

cp /etc/exports /root/exports.perm
cp /root/exports.tmp /etc
exportfs -av
sleep 20000 # pick any number you want.
cp /root/exports.perm /etc
exportfs -av

you can use the exportfs command:

Very simple example to export /tmp to all:

exportfs hostname:/tmp

to unexport everything:

exportfs -ua
