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|--debug=debuglevel

debuglevel 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 log level parameter -in the smb.conf file.

-l|--logfile=logbasename

File name for log/debug files. The extension -".client" will be appended. 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.
