[nflug] >mount

[Robert Dege]

exactly my point.  But what I want is to force the un-mount even if a term
is located in that directory.

ie: I have 1 xterm launching the script, and another xterm that has the
cwd in the mounted directory.

There is no way that I know of (other than killing the shell), of getting
that xterm to move safely out of the mounted directory.

Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but
they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.
