NAME
smbstatus - report on current Samba connections

SYNOPSIS

smbstatus [-p|--processes] [-v|--verbose] [-L|--locks] [-S|--shares] [-N|--notify] [-u|--user=STRING] [-b|--brief] [-P|--profile] [-R|--profile-rates] [-B|--byterange] [-n|--numeric] [-f|--fast] [-j|--json] [--resolve-uids] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL] [--debug-stdout] [--configfile=CONFIGFILE] [--option=name=value] [-l|--log-basename=LOGFILEBASE] [--leak-report] [--leak-report-full]

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.

-R|--profile-rates
    If samba has been compiled with the profiling option, print the contents of the profiling shared memory area and the call rates.

-b|--brief
    gives brief output.

-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.

-N|--notify
    causes smbstatus to display registered file notifications

-f|--fast
    causes smbstatus to not check if the status data is valid by checking if the processes that the status data refer to all still exist. This speeds up execution on busy systems and clusters but might display stale data of processes that died without cleaning up properly.

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

-n|--numeric
    causes smbstatus to display numeric UIDs and GIDs instead of resolving them to names.

-j|--json
    Output more detailed information in JSON format instead of human readable. The output has the following format:

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

--usage
    Display brief usage message.

-d|--debuglevel=level
    level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is not specified is 1 for client applications.

    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 reasonable 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 investigating 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 log level parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

--debug-stdout
    This will redirect debug output to STDOUT. By default all clients are logging to STDERR.

--configfile=<configuration file>
    The file specified contains the configuration details required by the client. The information in this file can be general for client and server or only provide client specific like options such as client smb encrypt. See /etc/samba/smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time.

--option=<name>=<value>
    Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read from the configuration file. If a name or a value includes a space, wrap whole --option=name=value into quotes.

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

--leak-report
    Enable talloc leak reporting on exit.

--leak-report-full
    Enable full talloc leak reporting on exit.

-V|--version
    Prints the program version number.
