Hello to everybody in the list.
I want to close a samba share using a command that can be executed when
i need it or scheduled with at/cron.
I found that 'smbcontrol close-share' command supposed to do that, but
when i try to run command it doesn't work.
sudo smbcontrol smbd close-share My_Share
It returns the following:
Ignoring unknown parameter "use client drivers"
WARNING: [printers] service MUST be printable!
Ignoring unknown parameter "use client drivers"
I don't know how to make this command to work.
My server is Ubuntu 12.04LTS running Samba Version 3.6.3
Please, i really appreciate any help how to run this command.
Sincerely,
Carlos

"close-share" just closes all connections to a share, without affecting other client connections. It doesn't remove a share.> It returns the following: > > Ignoring unknown parameter "use client drivers" > WARNING: [printers] service MUST be printable! > Ignoring unknown parameter "use client drivers"This doesn't mean that this command failed. It just tells you, what's wrong with your smb.conf. See "testparm".> I want to close a samba share using a command that can be executed > when i need it or scheduled with at/cron.https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2011-September/164268.html Regards, Marc
Hi Marc, Thank you for your email. I think something is wrong with the command or syntax. For example, I open the share folder in a Win workstation(\\server\My_Share) and then run the program to close that share in the server console. The workstation continues to have normal access to that share. Nothing change. I think If the command were running correctly the workstation would not be able to access the share. Is there other way to do this? I can try.
