Unfortunately smbmount is not available at the company I want to run my script.

However I changed my script regarding the workaround methyl and RudiC suggested:

Code:
fileattr=`/opt/samba/bin/smbclient --authentication-file=$AUTH_FILE //$SMB_HOST/$SMB_SHARE 2> /dev/null <<END
	prompt off
	cd $SMB_DIR
	exit
END
	`
	grep -c 'NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND' $LogFile    
	if [ $? != 0 ] ; then
	   exit 1
	fi	
	fileattr=`/opt/samba/bin/smbclient --authentication-file=$AUTH_FILE //$SMB_HOST/$SMB_SHARE 2> /dev/null <<END
	prompt off
	cd $SMB_DIR
	put $LOC_FILE $SMB_FILE
	dir /$SMB_DIR/$SMB_FILE

	exit
END
	`

It's not beautiful, but it works Smilie

Surprising, as it is part of the samba suite.

Does it? You redirect stderr to /dev/null, so what do you grep on?

You're right... I copied the code from wrong working version of my script.
Actually I redirect stderr to $LogFile.

@FreddyDaKing
The smbmount command is Operating System dependent.

Too much guesswork when you don't post what Operating System and version you have.
