Startmount-0.5.5 Drive automount and program starter
Startmount-0.5.5 Drive automount and program starter
Startmount-0.5.5 - 01micko and tasmod
An application to read your drives available for mounting and to let you choose which one(s) or all, to automount at next boot.
It can also auto-run a chosen program(s)
So, boot, it will mount drive and launch a program, if chosen.
Handy to start music, launch a browser or whatever your choice from menu of default apps.
Choices, choices, choices.
The gui is self explanatory, choose your drive partition(s) to automount next boot, click apply and that's it. Same for program(s) to start at boot.
At next boot the partition(s) will mount at startup and the program chosen will launch. Or just one, maybe a drive or maybe a program only, your choice.
The program list is auto-generated from your default applications. If you install another application as default, say Firefox instead of Sea-Monkey it will auto update.
There is an entry field for you to enter your own program choice and start parameter.
USB support is experimental.
Usual caveat, use at your own risk!
Update:
Version 0.5.5
Small bugfix for ntfs filesystem.

Version 0.5.3

Um, I'm a bit confused, my home partition hda5 is not ommited and I'm not sure which hda2 is I think it's extended partition, see attached:

Okay, I see you have:
in script but fdisk shows "Ext'd" on my part as you can see, maybe has to do with fdisk version? I'm trying this out on my 214X frugal install on laptop.
Code: Select all
grep -v "Extended"

Relies on shutdown script for thattrapster wrote:Nice.
Does this also unmount them when shutting down?

I see that it also uses fstab that's good but I reported once in Bugs forum issue with ntfs rw and fstab, how do you handle that?

Works well on my test setup when I tried it for hda and hdb drives and also the usb stick sda. This is running under ttuuxxx's 214RC2.
Except that it does display hdb5 which is my home partition.
Now that this app is just over an hour old may I make a feature request?
It seems that once StartMount has been setup and rebooted it continues to mount the selected drives after each subsequant reboot. I can see the logic here but it could also not be what folk want/expect.
So could StartMount display the current setup rather than display a fresh screen after a reboot. eg if I have already set it to start hda1 and hdb3 then can it remind me by displaying this fact after a fresh reboot (you might not need disable then.)
Hope that's clear.
Thanks as ever for your efforts.
Dave
EDIT:
just seen your pics and mine is like dejan's as I am using 214X RC2. ie no drive info.

For ease we used the drive tooltip text rather than working out drives size, why not if already done?
It appears that in 214 this tooltip is not there or else in another location.
On desktop when you hover over drive, is tooltip displayed ?

Seems it is a feature introduced later on davesurrey, not available in 2.14, amazing it doesn't just error out...
If you boot a puppy 4X you will see tooltips when you hover over a drive, that's the info.
Cheers

dave,
One of the features we intended to add was an autostart of selected apps.
Scenario:
Pmusic.
Start computer, windows partition or other partition mounts with your music files in it, pmusic starts and uses playlist. there, instant music.
Will look into further options for running the Startmount app.
