# automount
> Read the `/etc/auto_master` file and mount `autofs` on the appropriate mount points to trigger the on-demand mounting of directories. Essentially, it's a way to manually initiate the system's automounting process.
> Note: You'll most likely need to run with `sudo` if you don't have the necessary permissions.
> More information: <https://keith.github.io/xcode-man-pages/automount.8.html>.
- Run automount, flush the cache(`-c`) beforehand, and be verbose(`-v`) about it (most common use):
`automount -cv`
- Automatically unmount after 5 minutes (300 seconds) of inactivity:
`automount -t 300`
- Unmount anything previously mounted by automount and/or defined in `/etc/auto_master`:
`automount -u`
