Notes and tips
Execute multiple commands
To execute multiple commands in the command line, write them ; .
To execute a second command only if the previous command succeeds, chain the commands with && (instead of a semicolon).
sudo mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt/ -o username=X,password=Y,gid=1000,uid=1000,rw && depriv zenity --info --text "Laufwerk wurde verbunden"Running Your Own Scripts
Instead of individual commands, run a custom script. Save the script in the Custom folder under rootfs to import it into the ThinClient’s file system (see the article Custom Folder).
