SMBSTATUS(1)             USER COMMANDS               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  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 prob-
        lem. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by develop-
        ers  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 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 Doc-
     Book XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.
