# Purpose: Check if there is a TimeCapsule in your network and mount it
#     for use it under Gnu/Linux. Unmount it if it is already mounted.
#	   The mount point is created and destroyed after use (for prevent
#	   automatic backup software to backup in the directory if the device
#	   is not mounted)
# Instructions:
#   1) Install cifs-utils (sudo apt-get install cifs-utils)
#		1) Change the first four variables according to your configuration.
#		2) Run this program at boot when your network is already
#		   set up. Also, run it on logoff to umount Time Capsule.
