automount daemon not running

[hariharan veerappan]

Hello all,

We are try to run the automount daemon.

We are using the below script file 
We are using the autofs version 4 support


#/etc/rc.d/init.d/auto_mount..

case "$1" in
	start)

	for mountspec in $(/bin/ls /etc/sysconfig/automount-config/*.auto)
	do
		MOUNTPOINT=/mount
		TIMEOUT=0

		MOUNT_BASE=${mountspec%.auto}

		echo "Starting automount for group ${MOUNT_BASE##*/}  ..."
		automount --timeout=${TIMEOUT} $MOUNTPOINT file \
		$MOUNT_BASE.map
		evaluate_retval
	done
	;;
	
	# assume all instances of automount were started by this script
	stop)
		echo -n "Stopping automount ..."
		# Unmount everything mounted by automount
		killall -USR1 automount
		killall automount
		evaluate_retval
		#exit 1
		;;
	restart)
		$0 stop
		sleep 1
		$0 start
		;;
	*)
		echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
		exit 1
		;;
esac
# End /etc/rc.d/init.d/auto_mount
#EOF

The daemon does not run in the background
please confirm and verify..
 
Thanks and regards
