What is the expected value of $1?
Minor modification
mount_if_not_mounted() {
MOUNT='/bin/mount'
MOUNTPOINT=$1
if [ "`$MOUNT | grep "$MOUNTPOINT"`" = "" ] ; then
$MOUNT $MOUNTPOINT
fi
}
mount_if_not_mounted "/mnt/samba/share";
In this case there's a parameter being supplied to the funtion which is
used to define the mount point...
