+.TH autojuke 8 "(c) 1997-2001 Gerd Knorr"
+.SH NAME
+autojuke - a tool to access jukeboxes with autofs
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+/usr/sbin/automount /jukebox program /usr/sbin/autojuke
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B autojuke
+is a "program map" (in autofs speak). You have to create a config
+file (/etc/autojuke.conf) for it first (or copy & edit the sample
+file), see below for a description of the syntax.
+.P
+After starting autofs you should be able to change & mount media just
+by accessing /jukebox/<slot-nr> or by accessing
+/jukebox/<volume-tag>. Error messages show up in the syslog
+(/var/log/messages).
+.SH CONFIG FILE
+Syntax is very simple: The config file has just some "variable = value"
+lines. These are the variables:
+.TP
+.B try_umount=0|1
+It is possible to signal the automound daemon (with SIGUSR1) it should
+umount idle devices. If you set this to 1, autojuke will try this if
+there is no idle drive. You probably want to use either this feature
+or a short timeout value for automount.
+.TP
+.B mopts=...
+Specify mount options (fs type for example), autojuke passes them to
+the automount daemon. Check out the automount manpage for details.
+.TP
+.B dev=special file
+specifies the special file(s) (/dev/something) of the data transfer
+elements. There must be exactly one line per data transfer element.
+autojuke uses this to look for idle drives (using /etc/mtab) and to
+tell automount which device it should mount. Order is important, the
+first line should address "d0", etc...
+.SH NOTES
+Volume tags work only if the changer supports them.
+Double-sided media is not supported (yet).
+.P
+For CD-ROM's it is faster and cheaper these days if you copy images to
+a big hard disk and mount the images using the loop device. This also
+allows easy parallel access to different CD's at the same time.
