need a startup script for my myth box.

[Mad Professor]

I have a mythbuntu machine, it's basically ubuntu with xfce desktop and mythtv with plugins.

I need it to mount few network directories for mythtv.

My storage unit is a fileserver across the network, I have fstab setup for the mounts.

I've treid _netdev and rc.local files but it doesn't work with samba shares for some reason; Even tho mount has root privileges.

these are how it's mounted manually in console

sudo mount /var/lib/mythtv/recordings

sudo mount /var/lib/mythtv/music

I also want it to run the EPG grabber which is in /home/pvr/mc2xml/update.sh
and I want this to run everytime I boot the machine which has automatic login.

I don't have alot of experience writing bash scripts, so how do I go about this?

Any help appreciated.

Never mind, apparently fstab and mounting network shares during boot before the network link is up has been fixed in 9.1
