This script automatically opens a truecrypt volume using veracrypt. Requires the 'veracrypt' binary to be installed.

<pre>
#!/bin/bash

# mount a truecrypt volume

VC=/usr/bin/veracrypt
CONTAINER=/mnt/usb/truecrypt-volume.tc
MOUNTPOINT=/mnt/data
VC_PASS=<yourpassword>

DMASK=0022
FMASK=0133

# veracrypt syntax:
if echo "$VC_PASS" | $VC -tc -t -k "" --protect-hidden=no "$CONTAINER" "$MOUNTPOINT" --fs-options="users,gid=100000,dmask=$DMASK,fmask=$FMASK"
then

  echo "$CONTAINER mounted" 

else

  echo "Unable to find veracrypt/truecrypt container $CONTAINER" 
fi
