But in this case local shared folders should not be listed.
Even though you haven't answered why you want to display the list of
local shared folders, I will assume you have a good purpose.
smbclient has an -L flag which can be used to enumerate shares on a
machine. It does not, as far as I can tell, require authentication. I
believe resource enumeration uses a SID reserved specifically for
browsing purposes.
So you should not need to check to see if the smb service is running
on the local machine. (And even if you wanted to do that, invoking
`ps` is about the wrongest way you can do it.) Just browse the local
machine, and use that to populate your list of shares. No matter what
you do, you will need to authenticate to actually mount the share.
