Tips for quitting the command if you've started it as a background process:

• With the UnMount command from the shell.
• If you have used the default device name for a samba share, you can unmount the share with the Eject screenbar module.
• It can be quitted from the shell by finding out the process number with the Status command and giving that number to the Break command.
• If you want to do the previous operation automatically for example in a script, you can use the following command (including all the apostrophes and alikes): Break `Status COM "SmbFS '//sambaserver/sharedfiles'"`
• Any program which can send a CTRL-C signal to the program can quit it, for example the TaskManager program.
