120 message to "broadcast" to all smbd daemons.</P
127 > destination causes the
128 message to be sent to the nmbd daemon specified in the
134 >If a single process ID is given, the message is sent
135 to only that process.</P
174 > message-type sends a
175 message to smbd which will then close the client connections to
176 the named share. Note that this doesn't affect client connections
177 to any other shares. This message-type takes an argument of the
178 share name for which client connections will be close, or the
179 "*" character which will close all currently open shares.
180 This message can only be sent to <TT
188 > message-type allows
189 the debug level to be set to the value specified by the

209 > message-type sends the
210 number of "ping" messages specified by the parameter and waits
211 for the same number of reply "pong" messages. This can be sent to
212 any of the destinations.</P
217 > message-type sends a
218 message to an smbd to change the profile settings based on the
219 parameter. The parameter can be "on" to turn on profile stats
220 collection, "off" to turn off profile stats collection, "count"
221 to enable only collection of count stats (time stats are
222 disabled), and "flush" to zero the current profile stats. This can
223 be sent to any of the destinations.</P
229 a "request debug level" message. The current debug level setting
230 is returned by a "debuglevel" message. This can be
231 sent to any of the destinations.</P
237 a "request profile level" message. The current profile level
238 setting is returned by a "profilelevel" message. This can be sent
239 to any of the destinations.</P
244 > message-type sends a
245 message to smbd which in turn sends a printer notify message to
246 any Windows NT clients connected to a printer. This message-type
247 takes an argument of the printer name to send notify messages to.
248 This message can only be sent to <TT
256 > message-type sends a
257 message to smbd which forces smbd to close the share that was
258 specified as an argument. This may be useful if you made changes
259 to the access controls on the share. </P
