Unmount all remote volumes on idle with Applescript Network
I found that my Mini becomes unstable and sometimes freezes if I leave my SMB shares mounted for days at a time. So, I combined several scripts found on this site into a new script that unmouns all volumes when the computer's been idle for a while.

The main credit for this goes to this older hint.

Unmount all remote volumes on idle with Applescript

I haven't messed with the automounter on OS X yet, but does it not support SMB shares? It would be a bummer if it didn't since what you've done is half of what the automounter does. The other side of it is it mounts the shares when accessed, so you're machine doesn't have things mounted when it's not needed.
