AUTOUNMOUNTD(8)		FreeBSD	System Manager's Manual	       AUTOUNMOUNTD(8)

NAME
     autounmountd -- daemon unmounting automounted filesystems

SYNOPSIS
     autounmountd [-d] [-r time] [-t time] [-v]

DESCRIPTION
     The autounmountd daemon is	responsible for	unmounting filesystems mounted
     by	automountd(8).	On startup, autounmountd retrieves a list of filesys-
     tems that have the	automounted mount option set.  The list	is updated ev-
     ery time a	filesystem is mounted or unmounted.  After a specified time
     passes, autounmountd attempts to unmount a	filesystem, retrying after
     some time if necessary.

     These options are available:

     -d	 Debug mode: increase verbosity	and do not daemonize.

     -r	 Number	of seconds to wait before trying to unmount an expired
	 filesystem after a previous attempt failed, possibly due to filesys-
	 tem being busy.  The default value is 600, or ten minutes.

     -t	 Number	of seconds to wait before trying to unmount a filesystem.  The
	 default value is 600, or ten minutes.

     -v	 Increase verbosity.

EXIT STATUS
     The autounmountd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
