6 smbstatus - report on current Samba connections

9 smbstatus [-P] [-b] [-d <debug level>] [-v] [-L] [-B] [-p] [-S]
10 [-s <configuration file>] [-u <username>]
11
13 This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
14 smbstatus is a very simple program to list the current Samba connec‐
16 tions.

19 -P|--profile
20 If samba has been compiled with the profiling option, print only the
21 contents of the profiling shared memory area.
22 -b|--brief
24 gives brief output.
25 -V
27 Prints the program version number.
28 -s <configuration file>
30 The file specified contains the configuration details required by
31 the server. The information in this file includes server-specific
32 information such as what printcap file to use, as well as descrip‐
33 tions of all the services that the server is to provide. See
34 smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name
35 is determined at compile time.
36 -d|--debuglevel=level
38 level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this parame‐
39 ter is not specified is zero.
40 The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
42 files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical
43 errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable
44 level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of infor‐
45 mation about operations carried out.
46 Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
48 should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are
49 designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log
50 data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
51 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the
53 parameter in the smb.conf file.
55 -l|--logfile=logdirectory
57 Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname"
58 will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log
59 file is never removed by the client.
60 -v|--verbose
62 gives verbose output.
63 -L|--locks
65 causes smbstatus to only list locks.
66 -B|--byterange
68 causes smbstatus to include byte range locks.
69 -p|--processes
71 print a list of smbd(8) processes and exit. Useful for scripting.
72 -S|--shares
74 causes smbstatus to only list shares.
75 -h|--help
77 Print a summary of command line options.
78 -u|--user=<username>
80 selects information relevant to username only.

89 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
90 Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
91 Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
92 The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page
94 sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
95 Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and
96 updated for the Samba 2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to
97 DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to Doc‐
98 Book XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.
