Stopping & Starting Samba
- Thread starter sirrom
- Start date
Hi,
The answer depends on how samba is installed - does it use sysv init, local custom start script, or even inetd /xinetd.
Most likely, you'd need to ssh / telnet to the server then kill the 'smbd' and 'nmbd' processes :
killall -SIGTERM smbd
killall -SIGTERM nmbd
to (re)start as a daemon :
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D
Hope this helps
