What emits mounted event?

[Grail Dane]

Well that was a quick and easy test :)
I would like to add an additional question, if in my mountall.conf I place a loop to go through allmounted items, as per the output of mount, and issued a similar line to below, wouldI need to use 'anything' to tie the MOUNTPOINT and TYPE to the specific call?
eg.
while read -r M Tdo    initctl emit mounted MOUNTPOINT=$M TYPE=$Tdone< <(mount | awk '{print $3,$5}')
Will this be enough for anything listening or would MOUNTPOINT and TYPE need to last longer and sosomehow be individual, maybe using instance? (not a full bottle on how to use that just yet)
The idea I am shooting for is to allow others to potentially use 'start on mounted' for anything within the system.

Hi James
Thank you very much for the suggestion below.  I did actually find something on this in the Cookbook (like I said I think it is a greatpiece of literature for those of us trying to learn :) )
I will definitely take your advice on raising examples
