1. Introduction:
Most Samba packages for various *nix flavors come with a shell script in order to quickly start or stop the Samba services.
smb.cmd (written in REXX) provides the same for OS/2 and eCS.
2. Installation:
smb.cmd should reside in the same directory as smbd.exe and nmbd.exe.
3. Usage:
The usage of smb.cmd mimics the usage of the *nix shell scripts and is quite straight forward:
smb {start|stop|restart|status}
In addition a plugin feature found in IBM's TCPSTART.CMD is added to smb.cmd
If a file named B4SMB.CMD is found in the Samba directory, it is run before the Samba services are started.
If a file named SMBEXIT.CMD is found in the Samba directory, it is run after the Samba services have been stopped.
