encfs under KDE

Mounting and unmounting encfs is easy in command line, but I was looking for a solution of doing it in KDE during system startup/shutdown. Here are two scripts which uses KDialog for asking for password and displaying notices.


encfsmount.sh

#!/bin/bash

encrypted=~/.encr
unencrypted=~/myplace

encfs --extpass="kdialog --password 'encfs password'" $encrypted $unencrypted

if  mount|grep $unencrypted > /dev/null 2>&1; then
    kdialog --title "Mounted :)" --passivepopup "$unencrypted mounted succesfully" 10
else
    kdialog --error "$unencrypted not mounted :("
fi

encfsumount.sh

#!/bin/bash

unencrypted=~/myplace

fusermount -u $unencrypted

if  mount|grep $unencrypted > /dev/null 2>&1; then
    kdialog --error "$unencrypted NOT unmounted :("
else
    kdialog --title "Unmounted :)" --passivepopup "$unencrypted unmounted succesfully" 10

fi

Add those two scripts to autostart in KDE (or to your launcher/desktop icons if you prefer to mount/unmount it manually):

It will ask for the password when mounting:

When successful, the notification in the corner should appear:
