It's easy, but like any scripting task, you just need to know what you want
ahead of time. If these shares are of the most basic sort (share name, path,
everyone/full control access), then all you need to do is dump all the commands
into a file and execute them on the filer or via SSH. If you can handle a
reboot, just append all of the new shares into <root>/etc/cifsconfig_share.cfg.
The syntax is straightforward, and the shares will be created upon next boot. I
suspect the same would happen if you just restarted CIFS, but I haven't tried
it. Take a look at it - it's simple - and you can just as easily set different
access to each share if you have that information too.
