No mount command. When you restart the actual autofs.service.
EDIT: I see the confusion. I meant checking after you restart the autofs.service, by using the mount command without any parameters. (Simply typing mount in the terminal will list the contents of your mtab, AKA current mounts.)
Not when using systemd-mount or the .mount / .automount units, it will be handled automatically 
@Magician1981 new technologies replace old ones in due time, so trust the knowledge of those trying to help you and switch to the systemd way of mounting and auto-mountingâŚ
It is already part of your default system install, and most other distros, no need to install and fiddle with old softwareâŚ
When it comes to autofs most likely not starting at boot has already been pointed out with the systemctl enable --now commandâŚ
I wish as a New-year present that no-one in the world will ever use the mount command again ever and all switch to systemd-mount eg:
systemd-mount -t nfs 192.168.1.100:/Torrent /mntsystemd-mount can do much more as the prehistoric mount command with a much more user-friendly and understandable way of configâŚ

Some autofs refference near the bottom.
Iâm aware of sotfware progres, however if it works it worksâŚ
This will automount at boot every time? What happens when nfs shares are not available when nas is offline? Thank you for your input.
The systemd automount functionality when properly setup does yesâŚ
Then the unit (action) will just fail and not mount, simple as that 
I used this method and it is working for me.
If you need to see any of my config files I can show them to you.

I am having a look at some guides online right now, but your examples would surely help.
Found out what the problem was. Basically I created a new text file called auto.nas and put the contents of auto.shares in that file. Modified auto.master to point to the new ââsharesââ file and it worked. My guess is that it had something to do with permissions right? Strange that on all other systems it was just a matter of copy pasting the files and restarting autofs service.
