so I got round to testing this.
1st time round my kindle threw a complete wobbler... (webreader went crazy

)
so I simply unmounted (via ssh)
umount /etc/xdg/awesome; killall -9 awesome
and ran the
/mnt/us/extensions/fronter/arch/mount.sh
via ssh
seemed happier.
no, it didnt, kept dying on me... hmm
Will test
more but I like this solution.
: ) Thanks baf.
