smbstatus

Name

smbstatus — report on current Samba connections

Synopsis

smbstatus [-P] [-b] [-d <debug level>] [-v] [-L] [-B] [-p] [-S] [-s <configuration file>] [-u <username>]

DESCRIPTION

This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

smbstatus is a very simple program to + list the current Samba connections.

OPTIONS

-P|--profile

If samba has been compiled with the + profiling option, print only the contents of the profiling + shared memory area.

-b|--brief

gives brief output.

-V

Prints the program version number. +

-s <configuration file>

The file specified contains the +configuration details required by the server. The +information in this file includes server-specific +information such as what printcap file to use, as well +as descriptions of all the services that the server is +to provide. See smb.conf for more information. +The default configuration file name is determined at +compile time.

-d|--debuglevel=level

level is an integer +from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is +not specified is zero.

The higher this value, the more detail will be +logged to the log files about the activities of the +server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious +warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for +day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of +information about operations carried out.

Levels above 1 will generate considerable +amounts of log data, and should only be used when +investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for +use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log +data, most of which is extremely cryptic.

Note that specifying this parameter here will +override the parameter +in the smb.conf file.

-l|--logfile=logdirectory

Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension +".progname" will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, +log.smbd, etc...). The log file is never removed by the client. +

-v|--verbose

gives verbose output.

-L|--locks

causes smbstatus to only list locks.

-B|--byterange

causes smbstatus to include byte range locks. +

-p|--processes

print a list of smbd(8) processes and exit. + Useful for scripting.

-S|--shares

causes smbstatus to only list shares.

-h|--help

Print a summary of command line options. +

-u|--user=<username>

selects information relevant to username only.

VERSION

This man page is correct for version 3.0 of + the Samba suite.

AUTHOR

The original Samba software and related utilities + were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed + by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar + to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. + The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another + excellent piece of Open Source software, available at + ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2.0 + release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for + Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 + for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.
