Mounting windows shares from Linux

Here's a quick shell script I wrote to mount windows shares from Linux. It may be called with the arguments 'mount' or 'umount' to respectively mount and unmount the windows shares.

#!/bin/sh

if [ $# -le "0" ]; then
echo "Usage: mwfs [mount | umount]"
exit 0
fi

case "$1" in
   [mM][oO][uU][nN][tT] ) echo "Mounting wfs..."
        echo "Please enter password for acmeuser"
        stty -echo
        read PASS
        stty echo
        echo "Mounting //acme/users..."
        smbmount //acme/users /home/acmeuser/wfs/users -o username=acmeuser,workgroup=acmeindia,password=$PASS

   ;;
   [uU][mM][oO][uU][nN][tT] ) echo "Unmounting wfs..."
        echo "Unmounting //acme/users..."
        umount /home/acmeuser/wfs/users/

;;

* )
echo "Invalid parameter"
esac

exit 0
