Heh, sorry for the delay on this one. I had to make sure it worked with "chkconfig" under RH variants. Looks like it was broken.

Save this as "pogoplug" under /etc/init.d (or wherever your distro stores init scripts). Make it executable with chmod.

For Redhat, you'll need to add it to chkconfig with

chkconfig --add pogoplug

if you want to be able to set runlevel options using that tool.

Provided you have fuse and everything else working, you should be able to issue "service pogoplug start" or "/etc/init.d/pogoplug start" and it should mount.

I'm using a /etc/pogoplugfs.conf file to store the login credentials, and have set "logseverity=15" because I like to see some of what it's doing in the log files.

Still haven't figured out how to get it to stop writing a pogoplug.log file to whatever directory it was run from. Seems to be built into the binary to do that, along with dump output to stdout. The redirects in the init script should send the stdout/stderr stuff to /var/log/pogplug.

#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/pogoplug
#
# Mounts the Pogoplug under /pogoplug
# make sure to create /etc/pogoplugfs.conf file
# which contains username/password and possibly other config info
# see pogoplugfs --help for more info
#
# chkconfig: 2345 90 10
