smbstatus(1)



NAME

   smbstatus - report on current Samba connections

SYNOPSIS

   smbstatus [-P] [-b] [-d <debug level>] [-v] [-L] [-B] [-p] [-S] [-N]
    [-f] [-s <configuration file>] [-u <username>] [-n|--numeric]
    [-R|--profile-rates]

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.

   -R|--profile-rates
       If samba has been compiled with the profiling option, print the
       contents of the profiling shared memory area and the call rates.

   -b|--brief
       gives brief output.

   -d|--debuglevel=level
       level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
       parameter is not specified is 0.

       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 log
       level parameter in the smb.conf file.

   -V|--version
       Prints the program version number.

   -s|--configfile=<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.

   -l|--log-basename=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.

   --option=<name>=<value>
       Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the
       command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read
       from the configuration file.

   -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.

   -N|--notify
       causes smbstatus to display registered file notifications

   -f|--fast
       causes smbstatus to not check if the status data is valid by
       checking if the processes that the status data refer to all still
       exist. This speeds up execution on busy systems and clusters but
       might display stale data of processes that died without cleaning up
       properly.

   -?|--help
       Print a summary of command line options.

   -u|--user=<username>
       selects information relevant to username only.

   -n|--numeric
       causes smbstatus to display numeric UIDs and GIDs instead of
       resolving them to names.

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.
