SMBSTATUS(1)


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 informa-
       tion 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 in-
       formation. The default configuration file name is determined  at	 com-
       pile 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.

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 pro-
  ject 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.
