Good point. I know that if there is a gui and through Gnome -- Nautilus, it will automatically mount the share if chosen. I scratch my head at that in how can you allow an automount using the GUI but not through the CLI for system who boot at run levels with GUI's.

systemd.automount
SYSTEMD.AUTOMOUNT(5) systemd.automount SYSTEMD.AUTOMOUNT(5)
NAME
systemd.automount - Automount unit configuration
SYNOPSIS
automount.automount
DESCRIPTION
A unit configuration file whose name ends in ".automount" encodes information about a file system automount point controlled and supervised
by systemd.
This man page lists the configuration options specific to this unit type. See systemd.unit(5) for the common options of all unit
configuration files. The common configuration items are configured in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The automount specific
configuration options are configured in the [Automount] section.
Automount units must be named after the automount directories they control. Example: the automount point /home/lennart must be configured
in a unit file home-lennart.automount. For details about the escaping logic used to convert a file system path to a unit name see
systemd.unit(5). Note that automount units cannot be templated, nor is it possible to add multiple names to an automount unit by creating
additional symlinks to its unit file.
For each automount unit file a matching mount unit file (see systemd.mount(5) for details) must exist which is activated when the automount
path is accessed. Example: if an automount unit home-lennart.automount is active and the user accesses /home/lennart the mount unit
home-lennart.mount will be activated.
Automount units may be used to implement on-demand mounting as well as parallelized mounting of file systems.
IMPLICIT DEPENDENCIES
The following dependencies are implicitly added:
o If an automount unit is beneath another mount unit in the file system hierarchy, both a requirement and an ordering dependency between
both units are created automatically.
o An implicit Before= dependency is created between an automount unit and the mount unit it activates.
DEFAULT DEPENDENCIES
The following dependencies are added unless DefaultDependencies=no is set:
o Automount units acquire automatic Before= and Conflicts= on umount.target in order to be stopped during shutdown.
FSTAB
Automount units may either be configured via unit files, or via /etc/fstab (see fstab(5) for details).
For details how systemd parses /etc/fstab see systemd.mount(5).
If an automount point is configured in both /etc/fstab and a unit file, the configuration in the latter takes precedence.
OPTIONS
Automount files must include an [Automount] section, which carries information about the file system automount points it supervises. The
options specific to the [Automount] section of automount units are the following:
Where=
Takes an absolute path of a directory of the automount point. If the automount point does not exist at time that the automount point is
installed, it is created. This string must be reflected in the unit filename. (See above.) This option is mandatory.
DirectoryMode=
Directories of automount points (and any parent directories) are automatically created if needed. This option specifies the file system
access mode used when creating these directories. Takes an access mode in octal notation. Defaults to 0755.
TimeoutIdleSec=
Configures an idle timeout. Once the mount has been idle for the specified time, systemd will attempt to unmount. Takes a unit-less
value in seconds, or a time span value such as "5min 20s". Pass 0 to disable the timeout logic. The timeout is disabled by default.
