NAME
smbstatus - report on current Samba connections
SYNOPSIS
smbstatus [-P] [-b] [-d <debug level>] [-v] [-L] [-B] [-p] [-S] [-s <configuration file>] [-u <user-
name>]
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 reason-able reasonable
able 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 inves-tigating investigating
tigating 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
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.smb-client, log.smbclient,
client, 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.
