I want my media pc to automatically mount several samba shares when they're accessed. In addition it also needs to wake-up the other machine if it is currently suspended via WOL.
From a forum post on xbmc.org (1) I know this can be done using autofs, but I'd like to see if this can be using systemd alone. I know systemd can handle the automounting, but what about the WOL?
Is it as simple as merely providing a dependency to the specific automount service file to first do the WOL? A oneshot unit? Or perhaps part of the same unit file with ExecStartPre (if there is such a thing in a automount file)?
Any hints or tips?
Thanks,
Sander
