DESCRIPTION

       autorun  automagically  recognises all available CDROMs in your system,
       mounts them upon insertion and executes a possible ’autorun’ executable
       on the CD. To allow an ordinary user to do this you have to add the op-
       tions user,exec in /etc/fstab to the CDROMs you want to use.


       You may also use Autorun.desktop for KDE. Just place  it  in  your  Au-
       tostart folder.


       Command  strings are parsed and %P% is replaced by the mountpoint path.
       %D% is replaced by the device path. After that the command string  will
       be executed using /bin/sh -c "command string";

OPTIONS

       -a, --autorun=EXEC
              Execute EXEC, if the CD changes. This executable must be located
              on the CD. I.e. if you specify "--autorun=myprogram",  and  your
              CD is mounted under /mnt/cdrom, after the CD is changed, autorun
              will attempt to run "/mnt/cdrom/myprogram". (default "/autorun")


       -c, --cdplayer=CDPLAYER
              Run   CDPLAYER,   if   an   audio   CD   is   inserted  (default
              "/usr/bin/kscd")


       -i, --interval=MILLISEC
              The time to wait in MILLISEC between checks (default 1000)


       -l, --lock
              Lock the mounted media (unmount by hand)


       -m, --mountonly
              mount/unmount only (do not execute anything)


       -d, --daemon
              Fork to background immediately


       -n, --notify=STRING
              Command STRING that will executed if  the  CD  changes  (default
              "/usr/bin/kfmclient configureDesktop")


       -t, --notify-insert=STRING
              Command  STRING  that will executed if a CD was inserted and the
              autorun executable "/autorun" or the one  specified  with  --au-
              torun  was  NOT  executed.  (default "/usr/bin/kfmclient openURL
              %P%")


       -e, --notify-eject=STRING
              Command STRING that will executed if a CD was  ejected  (default
              "")


       -q, --quiet
              Don’t produce any output


       -v, --verbose
              Produce verbose output


       -?, --help
              Give this help list


       --usage
              Give a short usage message


       -V, --version
              Print program version


       Mandatory  or  optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or
       optional for any corresponding short options.
