DESCRIPTION

This tool is part of the ssaammbbaa(7) suite. ssmmbbccoonnttrrooll is a very small program, which sends messages to a ssmmbbdd(8), a nnmmbbdd(8), or a wwiinnbbiinndddd(8) daemon running on the system. OOPPTTIIOONNSS

-h|-help

Print a summary of command line options.

-s

The file specified contains the configuration details required

by the server. The information in this file includes server-spe-

cific 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.

-i Run interactively. Individual commands of the form destination

message-type parameters can be entered on STDIN. An empty com-

mand line or a "q" will quit the program. destination One of nmbd, smbd or a process ID. The smbd destination causes the message to "broadcast" to all smbd daemons. The nmbd destination causes the message to be sent to the nmbd daemon specified in thenmbd.pid file. If a single process ID is given, the message is sent to only that process.

message-type

Type of message to send. See the section MMEESSSSAAGGEE-TTYYPPEESS for de-

tails. parameters

any parameters required for the message-type

MMEESSSSAAGGEE-TTYYPPEESS

Available message types are:

close-share

Order smbd to close the client connections to the named share. Note that this doesn't affect client connections to any other

shares. This message-type takes an argument of the share name

for which client connections will be closed, or the "*" charac-

ter which will close all currently open shares. This may be use-

ful if you made changes to the access controls on the share. This message can only be sent to ssmmbbdd. debug Set debug level to the value specified by the parameter. This can be sent to any of the destinations.

force-election

This message causes the nnmmbbdd daemon to force a new browse master election. ping Send specified number of "ping" messages and wait for the same number of reply "pong" messages. This can be sent to any of the destinations. profile Change profile settings of a daemon, based on the parameter. The parameter can be "on" to turn on profile stats collection, "off" to turn off profile stats collection, "count" to enable only collection of count stats (time stats are disabled), and "flush" to zero the current profile stats. This can be sent to any smbd or nmbd destinations. debuglevel Request debuglevel of a certain daemon and write it to stdout. This can be sent to any of the destinations. profilelevel Request profilelevel of a certain daemon and write it to stdout. This can be sent to any smbd or nmbd destinations. printnotify Order smbd to send a printer notify message to any Windows NT

clients connected to a printer. This message-type takes the fol-

lowing arguments: queuepause printername Send a queue pause change notify message to the printer specified. queueresume printername Send a queue resume change notify message for the printer specified. jobpause printername unixjobid Send a job pause change notify message for the printer and unix jobid specified. jobresume printername unixjobid Send a job resume change notify message for the printer and unix jobid specified. jobdelete printername unixjobid Send a job delete change notify message for the printer and unix jobid specified.

Note that this message only sends notification that an event has oc-

cured. It doesn't actually cause the event to happen. This message can only be sent to ssmmbbdd. samsync Order smbd to synchronise sam database from PDC (being BDC). Can only be sent to ssmmbbdd. NNoottee Not working at the moment samrepl Send sam replication message, with specified serial. Can only be sent to ssmmbbdd. Should not be used manually.

dmalloc-mark

Set a mark for dmalloc. Can be sent to both smbd and nmbd. Only available if samba is built with dmalloc support.

dmalloc-log-changed

Dump the pointers that have changed since the mark set by dmal-

loc-mark. Can be sent to both smbd and nmbd. Only available if

samba is built with dmalloc support. shutdown Shut down specified daemon. Can be sent to both smbd and nmbd.

pool-usage

Print a human-readable description of all talloc(pool) memory

usage by the specified daemon/process. Available for both smbd and nmbd. drvupgrade Force clients of printers using specified driver to update their local version of the driver. Can only be sent to smbd.

reload-config

Force daemon to reload smb.conf configuration file. Can be sent to ssmmbbdd, nnmmbbdd, or wwiinnbbiinndddd. VVEERRSSIIOONN This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.
