Hello, does anyone know if there is a tool in existence that can monitor samba shares like smbstatus but is much more advanced (and runs in console) , I mean a tool that has menues, some search options, and things sorted out nice. A Samba realtime monitor would be the best thing with lots of details and lots of options. I tried Swat, but that aint really a solution to watch who is connected to where, neither is smbstatus since when to many people are connected you can't see in realtime who is using what. And that I think is one major problem. I would like to have such a tool because I'm throwing the Novell File Server out and using a Whitebox 3.0EL instead. I wonder,...is there such a tool like Novell Monitor ... for linux ? I mean if there aint one for samba maybe another tool that is more advanced would be able to view who is connected to what ? what is their IP adress, what time did they logged on, what is the current system status, etc... Please help me if possible. Sincerely Robert Becskei

If anyone wants to write one (maybe a gui tool written in python ?) I'd be happy to integrate it into the source code. There are lots of admin options that could be added to Samba via TDB messaging to perform admin operations - we just need programmer enthusiasm to write such a tool. Anyone game ? Jeremy.
Hi, attached are two scripts that a colleague developed for a Samba workshop we had a a huge pharma company (thousands of Samba users, huge data sets on Samba 2/AIX). The idea is to test name service and file service. Not very fancy, but worked for our customer.

[Samba] a better smbstatus for monitoring samba ?
Hi, maybe that's what you're looking for(?): smbcontrol smbd ping 1 smbcontrol nmbd ping 1 If the servers are up'n running you get a 'pong' and the PID of the 'primary' instance.

Hi, Once again with scripts on my web server to avoid list filtering.

There is a 'short description' on the Novell monitor at: http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/nw6p/utlrfenu/data/h74jxvbx.html and: http://www.eits.uga.edu/lans/novell/nw5admn/day1.html (and day2, day3) The simplest 'quick fix': Build a list of users currently logged on Make a menu based on this userlist 'grep' the list from smbstatus with the selected username. ...and refresh (ad nauseum) This can be done with a 'simple' 2-pane window (it was simple back in the old Pascal days, don't ask me how to do it now...). Perhaps switch to file-list with [enter] and revert to user list on [escape] Good luck! -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Collen Blijenberg <MLHJ> [mailto:systeembeheer@hermanjordan.nl] Verzonden: dinsdag 29 juni 2004 15:31 Aan: Becskei Robert CC: samba mailing list Onderwerp: Re[4]: [Samba] a better smbstatus for monitoring samba ? does someone have some screen dumps or more tech info on the Novel file server tools, where he's talking about.. l8r ----------------------------------------------------- Collen Blijenberg (Montessori Lyceum Herman Jordan) Wednesday, June 16, 2004, 3:02:13 PM, you wrote: BR> Hi, BR> well I think it should be able to run in a console, just like Midnight BR> Commander (so it's also usefull without X), BR> it should have a menu for info about the system, like cpu BR> usage, network card usage,memory, how many users are currently attached to BR> the system, up time.

OK, thats a way. So I am able and ready now to get you any screenshots of NetWare console Monitor tool if you ask me for. Thanks Chris for this so simple but for me invisible idea.
