samba - Nov 2001 - Wanting to run a UNIX command on Windows shared files

Hi everybody,

I posted the following on 'comp.protocols.smb' newsgroup but got no
answer.
I'm now trying this way.

On one side, I have a Solaris 7 box running Samba 2.2.0 and on the other, a
W2K
machine sharing to everyone in full access mode the contents of its
C:\Public directory.

Is there a way to run a UNIX script or command on this Windows share?  I
tried using 'smbclient' but it seems to be limited to run a local
command on
local files or remote commands on remote files. I looked at 'smbmount'
in
the documentation, but the command doesn't seem to be available on my
system.

Samba lets me run Windows commands on UNIX share.  I simply want to do the
same at the other end of the wire.

Any ideas or clues?

Thanks

You may want to have a look at smbsh. The manpage is in the tarball 
in docs/manpages. smbsh is not build by default, but with a certain 
configure option.

Thank you for the answer.

The 'smbsh' command was not in my Samba package, so I decided to install
GCC
2.95.3 and to download Samba 2.2.2 sources to have it compiled using the
'--with-smbwrapper' option. I'm not a programmer and I spent many
hours to
debug the installation of GCC (many thanks to Internet and guys like you
that help on mailing lists and newsgroups).

Late in the night, I got GCC to work and started the 'make' of binaries
of
Samba, using this command line (see the 'Makefile' file attached):

'./configure --prefix=/opt/samba
--includedir=/opt/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.95.3/include
--libdir=/opt/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.95.3
--with-privatedir=/opt/samba/private --with-lockdir=/opt/samba/var/locks
--with-swatdir=/opt/samba/swat --with-configdir=/opt/samba/lib
--with-codepagedir=/opt/samba/lib/codepages --with-smbwrapper'

After at least one hour of compilation, the whole process crashed returning
these messages (the whole output of the 'make' process lies in the log
file
attached):

	=============== CUT ===============	...
	Linking shared library bin/smbwrapper.so
	ld: fatal: option -h and building a dynamic executable are
incompatible
	ld: fatal: Flags processing errors
	*** Error code 1
	make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `bin/smbwrapper.so'

	=========== END OF LOG ============
As stated earlier, I'm not really a programmer and I don't know where to
look and what to do. Would someone have any tips to get out of this dead
end?
