If currently have this code:



0130: moba()
0131: if [ -z "$(ls -A /home/me/Documents/A/B)" ]; then
0132: echo "Empty"
0133: sshfs me@domain:/home/C/D /home/me/Documents/A/B/
0134: cd /home/me/Documents/A/B/
0135: else
0136: echo "Not Empty"
0137: cd /home/me/Documents/A/B/
0138: fi
0139:


Firstly, this code is copied(the if-statement part) and just checks for the contents of the dir B, is there a less hacky and more robust way to check if the mount is active and "working"?



As i have like zero experience with this, i would greatly appreciate it, if you could write the if-Cond, such that i can basically just copy it.

          You can use the exit status of the mountpoint command.



          Ex.



          steeldriver$ mountpoint ~/Documents/A/B ; echo $?
          /home/steeldriver/Documents/A/B is not a mountpoint
          1


          Then



          steeldriver$ sshfs me@192.168.1.3:/home/me/Documents ~/Documents/A/B
          steeldriver@192.168.1.3's password:
          steeldriver$
          steeldriver$ mountpoint ~/Documents/A/B ; echo $?
          /home/steeldriver/Documents/A/B is a mountpoint
