Thanks but I tried it. The disadvantage is that if the connection 
goes down due to network problems or somebody restarts the 
windows computers I get sleeping processes which are not 
killable.

State of process in ps (manpage):
D uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)

This is the reason why I do not want to mount the shares and look 
for another way.


Regards.
