Samba/iX Services

Starting and Stopping Samba/iX

2. Use the following two commands to stop Samba/iX:

:abortjob #smbjobnumber

:abortjob #nmbjobnumber

NOTE Clients connected and writing to ﬁles will loose data if an abortjob is

done with clients active.

Initial Test With smbclient Utility

The smbclient utility provides access to SMB servers with an FTP-like

user interface. You can run smbclient utility on POSIX/Shell

environment.

Logon to your MPE system as mgr.samba:

: sh.hpbin.sys

shell/iX> cd bin

shell/iX> smbclient -L <sambaserver>

This command should display a list of available shares (services) that

matches your conﬁguration ﬁle. If NMBD is running, a list of

workgroups and related computers that NMBD could ﬁnd on your

network/subnet will be displayed, see Figure 7-9.
