NAME
smbstatus - report on current Samba connections
SYNOPSIS
smbstatus [-P] [-b] [-d <debug level>] [-v] [-L] [-B] [-p] [-S] [-N]
[-f] [-s <configuration file>] [-u <username>] [-n|--numeric]
[-R|--profile-rates]
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.
-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"
-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.
