samba - Nov 2007 - smbclient printout

Hello,

 

Sorry, I guess my first post wasn't allowed - perhaps because I had HTML
embedded in it?

 

Question:

 

Is there a way that I can have the output of smbclient be redirected to a
file and have it updated every time someone opens / closes a file in the
share?

 

The only idea that I have thus far is to write a script that would output
this data to a log file, and have the script run every 5 min. or so.  I
suppose that I could use diff to compare the changes, and only update the
log file with the changes? 

 

Any and all input is greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you,

I'm sorry -- I didn't mean smbclient, I meant _smbstatus_ !!

My apologies....

Can I suggest that you explain the problem you are trying to solve 
rather than how you plan on solving it?

I suspect that the audit vfs module would be a far better option...but 
without knowing exactly what you want to do its a bit hard to say for sure.
