smbstatus - report on current Samba connections
smbstatus [-P] [-b] [-d <debug level>] [-v]
[-L] [-B] [-p] [-S] [-N] [-f] [-s <configuration file>]
[-u <username>] [-n|--numeric] [-R|--profile-rates]
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
smbstatus is a very simple program to list the current Samba
connections.
-P|--profile
If samba has been compiled with the profiling option,
print only the contents of the profiling shared memory area.
-R|--profile-rates
If samba has been compiled with the profiling option,
print the contents of the profiling shared memory area and the call
rates.
-b|--brief
gives brief output.
-d|--debuglevel=level
level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default
value if this parameter is not specified is 0.
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.
-V|--version
Prints the program version number.
-s|--configfile=<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.
-l|--log-basename=logdirectory
Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension
".progname" will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd,
etc...). The log file is never removed by the client.
--option=<name>=<value>
Set the
smb.conf(5) option
"<name>" to value "<value>" from the command
line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read from the
configuration file.
-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.
-N|--notify
causes smbstatus to display registered file
notifications
-f|--fast
causes smbstatus to not check if the status data is valid
by checking if the processes that the status data refer to all still exist.
This speeds up execution on busy systems and clusters but might display stale
data of processes that died without cleaning up properly.
-?|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
-u|--user=<username>
selects information relevant to username
only.
-n|--numeric
causes smbstatus to display numeric UIDs and GIDs instead
of resolving them to names.
This man page is part of version 4.9.5-Debian of the Samba
suite.
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source
project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
