NAME

autorun - automatically mounts/unmounts CDROMs and executes /path/to/cdrom/autorun after mounting  

SYNOPSIS

autorun [-lmqv?V] [-a EXEC] [-c CDPLAYER] [-e STRING] [-i MILLISEC] [-n STRING] [-t STRING] [--autorun=EXEC] [--cdplayer=CDPLAYER] [--interval=MILLISEC] [--lock] [--mountonly] [--notify=STRING] [--notify-insert=STRING] [--notify-eject=STRING] [--quiet] [--verbose] [--help] [--usage] [--version] [cdromdevices...]  

DESCRIPTION

autorun automagically recognises all available CDROMs in your system, mounts them upon insertion and executes a possible 'autorun' executable on the CD. To allow an ordinary user to do this you have to add the options user,exec in /etc/fstab to the CDROMs you want to use.

You may also use Autorun.kdelnk for KDE. Just place it in your Autostart folder.

Command strings are parsed and %P% is replaced by the mountpoint path. %D% is replaced by the device path. After that the command string will be executed using /bin/sh -c "command string";  

OPTIONS

-a, --autorun=EXEC
