The attached script, remount.sh, may help to solve your problem with a
few changes as appropriate:
1. SSS
2. DDD
3. share
and if you are willing to store your Windows password in a file (i.e.,
~/.passwd).
I use remount.sh at work to remount a network share so I can backup my
local home directory (which is not otherwise backed up) to this share
(which is).
My crontab entry looks like the following:
5 2 * * * remount.sh; backup.sh ...
