Just run it in cron. Doing the mount/umount isn't necessary if it       can be left       on. I do because mine is a USB drive.              --       Linux Mint 22.2, Mozilla Thunderbird 140.4.0esr, Mozilla Firefox 145.0        Alan K.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
