I wrote a very simple shell script that will mount a list of shares, unmount them, or show the mounted list depending on what option you chose when it prompts you. It's very quick and easy, just use m for mount, u for unmount, l for list, and q for quit when prompted. Say for instance you have a laptop and you need to access shares both at home and at work. Put them all into this script (the ones from home AND work) and run it when you need to get to them. Of course, it will fail to load your home shares when you are work and vice-versa, but it will still try to load everything it can so that's okay, you still get easy access to your home shares at home and your work shares at work.
Just throw it into a blank text file, do your editing (it's commented to show you where and how to edit), save it as 'shares' (no extension) then drop it into /usr/bin/ and type 'sudo shares' (putting it in /usr/bin basicly lets you run it like a command) when you want to mount or unmount your network shares easily all at once. !!Make sure the permissions are set to allow you to read and execute. Just right click the file and go to the permissions tab.
Comments and suggestions are welcome. I know it's very basic (it's my first) but it gets the job done.

# Edit/add lines below for the stuff you want mounted.

# Example : umount /mnt/docs (unmounts the share from the first example)
umount /path/to/mount/directory

It should be noted that you need to create folders for your shares to be mounted to by running the command 'sudo mkdir /path/to/mount' directoy, where the path contains the location and name of where you want the network share to be mounted.
