NAME
smbstatus - report on current Samba connections
SYNOPSIS
smbstatus [-P] [-b] [-d <debug level>] [-v] [-L] [-B] [-p]
[-S] [-s <configuration file>] [-u <username>]
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.
-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 blue]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.
-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.

Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the

The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The
man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba
2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to
DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.
