[wplug] shell script madness

[Mike Griffin]

What is it that you're trying to do?
I think you're trying to see if files exist on that mount, correct?

how about:

if [ `mount | grep PITT-NW02 | wc -l` != 0 ]
then
   echo "Files exist on this mount"
fi

Even for a drive that isn't in existence you're going to get a '0' for 
the output of wc -l used in this fashion without an error.
If you just want to see if the mount exists, try something like this:

/bin/mount | grep PITT-NW02

if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
   echo "mount does not exist"
fi
