Okay, I get it now. It's more similar to the SysV way than I thought:
su root -c "$mountcmd $device $mountpt"
So, this should work:
===SNIP===
#! /bin/sh
device="/dev/wcd0c"
mountpt="/cdrom"
ftpmountpt="/home/ftp/pub/cdrom"
mntcmd="mount -t cd9660"
case $1 in
-f)
su root -c "$mntcmd $device $ftpmountpt"
;;
-l)
mount
;;
-u)
check=$(mount | grep /cdrom)
check1=$(mount | grep /home/ftp/pub/cdrom)
check2=$(mount | grep /dev/wcd0c)
if [ -n "$check" ]; then
echo "unmounting $check"
su root -c "umount $device"
elif [ -n "$check1" ]; then
echo "unmounting $check1"
su root -c "umount $device"
elif [ -n "$check2" ]; then
echo "unmounting $check2"
su root -c "umount $device"
else
echo "$device is not mounted"
fi
;;
-m)
su root -c "$mntcmd $device $mountpt"
;;
*)
echo -e "usage: cdm -f (for ftp users: requires root access) \n or -l (to show mounted directories) \n or -u (to umount /dev/wcd0c: requires root access) \n or * (to show this help resource) \n or -m (to mount to normal mount position: /cdrom -- Requires root access)"
esac
===SNIP===
Let me know what you think! :-)
