* Timount ('timeout mounts') cleans up mounts after a period of inactivity.
23
* It looks in the given directory of mountpoints, and attempts to unmount each
24
* with the MNT_EXPIRE flag. This flag is reset whenever a process accesses
25
* the mountpoint, meaning that a mountpoint will be unmounted only if it is
26
* inactive for the interval between two timount invocations.
28
* It is unclear how frequently timount should optimally be run. Empirical data
29
* specific to the installation will likely be required.
31
* Usage: timount <path>
32
* Must run as root, and probably from cron.
