How to mount and unmount a SMB share on Mac OS X (using mount_smbfs)
Raw
mount_smbfs.sh
#Mounting the share is a 2 stage process:
# 1. Create a directory that will be the mount point
# 2. Mount the share to that directory
#Create the mount point:
mkdir share_name
#Mount the share:
mount_smbfs //username:[email protected]/share_name share_name/
#Unmount the share:
umount share_name

Just tested and confirmed this also works:

mount -t smbfs //username:[email protected]/sharename mountfolder

You can leave the password off and be prompted for it.
You can leave the username off if it matches your current username.

mount -t smbfs //server.name/sharename mountfolder
