I'd like to see your script


my script looks as follows
<----- start of script
#!/bin/bash
testmount=`mount | grep /mnt/sysvol`
if [ "${testmount}" = "" ]; then
 mount /mnt/sysvol
 sleep 5
 testmount=`mount | grep /mnt/sysvol`
 if [ "${testmount}" = "" ]; then
  echo could not mount /mnt/sysvol
  exit
 fi
fi
rsync -ra /mnt/sysvol/ /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol
<-------- end of script
and I have it in crontab as follows
* * * * * /root/sync_sysvol
