Starting and Stopping Samba for MPE/iX
NOTE The new version of Samba for MPE/iX 2.0.7 is released as the official
patch/6.5. The Samba for MPE/iX 2.0.7 software resides inside the
SAMBA account in HFS directories under /SAMBA/SMB207 after you
install the official release patch for Samba. The current version of
Samba for MPE/iX 1.9.16p9 still exists inside the SAMBA account in
HFS directories under /SAMBA/PUB.
You can run only one version of Samba for MPE/iX at a time.
Stopping Samba for MPE/iX
It is important to shutdown Samba for MPE/iX before bringing the
system down. You can use the following commands to stop Samba for
MPE/iX:
1. Use SHOWJOB to see if the jobs stay alive; it can look as follows:
JOBNUM STATE JIN JLIST JOB
#J30 EXEC 10S LP NMBMON,MGR.SAMBA
#J31 EXEC 10S LP SMBMON,MGR.SAMBA
2. Use the following two commands to stop Samba for MPE/iX:
:abortjob #smbjobnumber
:abortjob #nmbjobnumber
NOTE Clients connected and writing to files will loose data if an abortjob is
done with clients active.
Initial Test With smbclient Utility
The smbclient utility provides access to SMB servers with an FTP-like
user interface. You can run smbclient utility on POSIX/Shell
environment.
Logon to your MPE/iX system as mgr.samba:
: sh.hpbin.sys
shell/iX> cd bin
shell/iX> smbclient -L <sambaserver>
