Checking mount points
What is the easiest way to check if /home/$USER (or some other directory) has been mounted (either system-wide or user-only)? I know that I can use regtool (checking both the system and user keys) or parse the output from mount, but I was hoping for something as simple as typing isitmounted /home/$USER and have the unknown isitmounted command return an appropriate exit status. I'm trying to write startup scripts so that mount points get set automatically when running cygwin from a network share (but I don't to override /home/$USER if that already exists.) The mount man page seems to refer to a man page for mount-table but I haven't been able to find it.
