6 smbstatus - report on current Samba connections

9 smbstatus [-P] [-b] [-d <debug level>] [-v] [-L] [-B] [-p] [-S] [-N]
10 [-f] [-s <configuration file>] [-u <username>] [-n|--numeric]
11 [-R|--profile-rates]
12
14 This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
15
16 smbstatus is a very simple program to list the current Samba
17 connections.
18
20 -P|--profile
21 If samba has been compiled with the profiling option, print only
22 the contents of the profiling shared memory area.
23
24 -R|--profile-rates
25 If samba has been compiled with the profiling option, print the
26 contents of the profiling shared memory area and the call rates.
27
28 -b|--brief
29 gives brief output.
30
31 -d|--debuglevel=level
32 level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
33 parameter is not specified is 0.
34
35 The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
36 files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical
37 errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable
38 level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
39 information about operations carried out.
40
41 Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
42 should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3
43 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts
44 of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
45
46 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log
47 level parameter in the smb.conf file.
48
49 -V|--version
50 Prints the program version number.
51
52 -s|--configfile=<configuration file>
53 The file specified contains the configuration details required by
54 the server. The information in this file includes server-specific
55 information such as what printcap file to use, as well as
56 descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide. See
57 smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name
58 is determined at compile time.
59
60 -l|--log-basename=logdirectory
61 Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname"
62 will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log
63 file is never removed by the client.
64
65 --option=<name>=<value>
66 Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the
67 command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read
68 from the configuration file.
69
70 -v|--verbose
71 gives verbose output.
72
73 -L|--locks
74 causes smbstatus to only list locks.
75
76 -B|--byterange
77 causes smbstatus to include byte range locks.
78
79 -p|--processes
80 print a list of smbd(8) processes and exit. Useful for scripting.
81
82 -S|--shares
83 causes smbstatus to only list shares.
84
85 -N|--notify
86 causes smbstatus to display registered file notifications
87
88 -f|--fast
89 causes smbstatus to not check if the status data is valid by
90 checking if the processes that the status data refer to all still
91 exist. This speeds up execution on busy systems and clusters but
92 might display stale data of processes that died without cleaning up
93 properly.
94
95 -?|--help
96 Print a summary of command line options.
97
98 -u|--user=<username>
99 selects information relevant to username only.
100
101 -n|--numeric
102 causes smbstatus to display numeric UIDs and GIDs instead of
103 resolving them to names.
104
106 This man page is part of version 4.12.2 of the Samba suite.
107
109 smbd(8) and smb.conf(5).
110
112 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
113 Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
114 Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
