99 of the form destination message-type parameters can be entered
100 on STDIN. An empty command line or a "q" will quit the

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

196 the debug level to be set to the value specified by the

217 number of "ping" messages specified by the parameter and waits
218 for the same number of reply "pong" messages. This can be sent to
219 any of the destinations.</P
224 > message-type sends a
225 message to an smbd to change the profile settings based on the
226 parameter. The parameter can be "on" to turn on profile stats
227 collection, "off" to turn off profile stats collection, "count"
228 to enable only collection of count stats (time stats are
229 disabled), and "flush" to zero the current profile stats. This can
230 be sent to any smbd or nmbd destinations.</P
236 a "request debug level" message. The current debug level setting
237 is returned by a "debuglevel" message. This can be
238 sent to any of the destinations.</P
244 a "request profile level" message. The current profile level
245 setting is returned by a "profilelevel" message. This can be sent
246 to any smbd or nmbd destinations.</P
251 > message-type sends a
252 message to smbd which in turn sends a printer notify message to
253 any Windows NT clients connected to a printer. This message-type
254 takes the following arguments:
262 >queuepause printername</DT
265 >Send a queue pause change notify
266 message to the printer specified.</P
269 >queueresume printername</DT
272 >Send a queue resume change notify
273 message for the printer specified.</P
276 >jobpause printername unixjobid</DT
279 >Send a job pause change notify
280 message for the printer and unix jobid
284 >jobresume printername unixjobid</DT
287 >Send a job resume change notify
288 message for the printer and unix jobid
292 >jobdelete printername unixjobid</DT
295 >Send a job delete change notify
296 message for the printer and unix jobid

373 The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
