5. If you choose to run the Samba for MPE/iX version 1.9.16p9, please use the jobs supplied as
JSMB.SAMBA.SYS and JNMB.SAMBA.SYS and stream them. If you choose to run the version of Samba for
MPE/iX 2.0.3, use the jobs supplied as JSMB20.SAMBA.SYS and JNMB20.SAMBA.SYS and stream them. If
you choose to run the version of Samba, for MPE/iX 2.0.7, use the jobs supplied as JSMB207.SAMBA.SYS

#J30 EXEC 10S LP NMBMON,MGR.SAMBA
#J31 EXEC 10S LP SMBMON,MGR.SAMBA
