# autofsd(8)

daemon to update autofs mounts on network changes

## NAME

**autofsd** – daemon to update autofs mounts on network changes

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

**autofsd** runs [automount(8)](/automount/8.md), and then waits for network configuration change events and, when such an event occurs, re-runs [automount(8)](/automount/8.md) to update the mounts to reflect the current automounter maps.
