I want to unmount multiple CIFS shares on my AIX LPAR using for loop. I created a file named cifs.txt containing all CIFS shares. Will my command work?

for i in $(cat cifs.txt); do rmcifsmnt -f $i; done

I am not that good with scripting so I need someone to check if my syntax is correct.

  You're calling rmcifsmnt which "Removes a CIFS mount from the /etc/filesystems file and unmounts the entry if it is mounted" but only "want to unmount". Which do you want?

Your existing loop runs the risk of expanding any wildcards in the filenames and removes the corresponding mount(s) from /etc/filesystems. If the mounts are given, one per line, in cifs.txt, then to unmount them:

< cifs.txt xargs -n 1 umount

or

< cifs.txt xargs -n 1 rmcifsmnt -N -f

Correspondingly, if you want to unmount them and remove them from /etc/filesystems:

< cifs.txt xargs -n 1 rmcifsmnt -f

xargs will do the work of parsing cifs.txt line-by-line and passing each line as an argument to the umount or rmcifsmnt commands (at the end).
