    The goal is to reproduce Finder's Connect to Server .. in shell script.
    Whereby it is a smb share where the connection has to be made to.

    I wonder what are all the sub-operations conducted by Connect to Server, because when I write a shell script carrying out as following
    - mkdir <mount point>
    - chmod bla bla bla, for the mount point dir
    - mount <aimed-smb-path>
    all I miss is the smb share entry in Finder window which usually is created
    by Finder's Connect to Server but not when I run my script.
    What does my script miss?

    You can use the mount volume command from AppleScript's File Commands suite in combination with osascript.
