How can I mount more then 1 shares?
Everything can be improved … and yes the topic makes some assumptions on the initial network connection as it would be on a workstation.
When I wrote this it was intended to be an alternative to modify the fstab to temporary mount a samba share - which is both error prone and network sensitive.
The original idea was to run the script when you needed the share and run it again when you don’t.
gio-mount will likely fail if the network is not available which is also why I added the idea to extend the script with some network checking.
If you want to mount more than one named share - you can copy the script and the service - using e.g. the share-name as identifier for script and service.

Here are the modifications that I made on the script:
I would add the License file which GPL Version does this Script relay on?
For some reason the service file isn’t found by systemd.
I have no solution for that until now.
I placed the script into autostart which is working so far.

It is a user service
systemctl start --user service
GPL 3 or newer
$ systemctl daemon-reload --user
$ systemctl start --user smb-share

You need to create the folder ~/.config/systemd/user/ - place service unit in the folder - then you can start/enable it
I can’t say - I have a couple of user services active - it works as expected
You did remember to name the service file with the .service extension?

okay, well than it has to be under ~/.config/systemd/user/ and not ~/.local/systemd/user/
I see the typo - my apologies …
