MOUNTPOINT="/some/mount-point"

        echo "${MOUNTPOINT} already mounted."
        exit 0
fi

# If above did not exit
mount ${MOUNTPOINT}

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "${MOUNTPOINT} has been mounted."
else
        # Mounting failed, send email
        echo "Mounting of ${MOUNTPOINT} failed." | mail -s "[server notification] Mount fail" $EMAIL
