97 >Run interactively. Individual commands
98 of the form destination message-type parameters can be entered
99 on STDIN. An empty command line or a "q" will quit the

124 > destination causes the
125 message to "broadcast" to all smbd daemons.</P
132 > destination causes the
133 message to be sent to the nmbd daemon specified in the
139 >If a single process ID is given, the message is sent
140 to only that process.</P
179 > message-type sends a
180 message to smbd which will then close the client connections to
181 the named share. Note that this doesn't affect client connections
182 to any other shares. This message-type takes an argument of the
183 share name for which client connections will be closed, or the
184 "*" character which will close all currently open shares.
185 This may be useful if you made changes to the access controls on the share.
186 This message can only be sent to <TT
194 > message-type allows
195 the debug level to be set to the value specified by the
196 parameter. This can be sent to any of the destinations.</P

215 > message-type sends the
216 number of "ping" messages specified by the parameter and waits
217 for the same number of reply "pong" messages. This can be sent to
218 any of the destinations.</P
223 > message-type sends a
224 message to an smbd to change the profile settings based on the
225 parameter. The parameter can be "on" to turn on profile stats
226 collection, "off" to turn off profile stats collection, "count"
227 to enable only collection of count stats (time stats are
228 disabled), and "flush" to zero the current profile stats. This can
229 be sent to any smbd or nmbd destinations.</P
235 a "request debug level" message. The current debug level setting
236 is returned by a "debuglevel" message. This can be
237 sent to any of the destinations.</P
243 a "request profile level" message. The current profile level
244 setting is returned by a "profilelevel" message. This can be sent
245 to any smbd or nmbd destinations.</P
250 > message-type sends a
251 message to smbd which in turn sends a printer notify message to
252 any Windows NT clients connected to a printer. This message-type
253 takes an argument of the printer name to send notify messages to.
254 This message can only be sent to <TT
263 >any parameters required for the message-type</P

318 >The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
319 The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
320 excellent piece of Open Source software, available at

327 Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter</P
