I cant stop samba...

[sirrom]

I thought to stop samba I needed to run the command
./samba stop from /opt/samba/bin however when running this I get error bash: ./smaba: No such file or directory

the files in the bin dir are below

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 446 May 6 1999 convert_smbpasswd

To start samba is it ./start_samba
am I missing files ??? or am I being silly.
thanks in advance.

sirrom, sorry don't know anything about samba, but I assume you are typing samba stop and not (as it appears from the above error message) smaba stop?

No doubt others can advise whether your syntax is correct. Cheers.

Normally, Samba is started automatically when your server boots up.

On my Solaris box, there's a /etc/init.d/samba script :-
[tt]
!/bin/sh

case $1 in

'start')
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D
;;

esac
[/tt]
So, that shows you how to start samba, & to stop it, just kill the smbd & nmbd demons.

Typo error sorry.
However looking at the init.d I have tried running
/etc/init.d/samba stop and this seems to have worked.
It definatly stopped the nmbd proccess not to sure about the smbd. Oh well more testing thanks anyway.

Thanks Ayjaycee just sussed it.

I find that doing a:

ps -ef |grep mbd

And then kill the process of the smbd and nmbd do the trick. James Collins
