SMBSTATUS(1)                                                                                    SMBSTATUS(1)



NAME
       smbstatus - report on current Samba connections

SYNOPSIS
       smbstatus  [-P] [-b] [-d <debug level>] [-v] [-L] [-B] [-p] [-S] [-s <configuration file>] [-u <user-
        name>]

DESCRIPTION
       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

       smbstatus is a very simple program to list the current Samba connections.

OPTIONS
       -P|--profile
          If samba has been compiled with the profiling option, print only the  contents  of  the  profiling
          shared memory area.

       -b|--brief
          gives brief output.

       -V
          Prints the program version number.

       -s <configuration file>
          The  file  specified contains the configuration details required by the server. The information in
          this file includes server-specific information such as what printcap  file  to  use,  as  well  as
          descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide. See smb.conf for more information.
          The default configuration file name is determined at compile time.

       -d|--debuglevel=level
          level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero.

          The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about the activities of the
          server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reason-able reasonable
          able level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of  information  about  operations
          carried out.

          Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should only be used when inves-tigating investigating
          tigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for use  only  by  developers  and  generate  HUGE
          amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.

          Note that specifying this parameter here will override the

          parameter in the smb.conf file.

       -l|--logfile=logdirectory
          Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname" will be appended (e.g. log.smb-client, log.smbclient,
          client, log.smbd, etc...). The log file is never removed by the client.

       -v|--verbose
          gives verbose output.

       -L|--locks
          causes smbstatus to only list locks.

       -B|--byterange
          causes smbstatus to include byte range locks.

       -p|--processes
          print a list of smbd(8) processes and exit. Useful for scripting.

       -S|--shares
          causes smbstatus to only list shares.

       -h|--help
          Print a summary of command line options.

       -u|--user=<username>
          selects information relevant to username only.
