[Samba] AIX starting and stopping samba from command line

[BeefStu BeefStu]

All:

I am running on an AIX 5.3 platform and I am looking to see if anybody has a script similar to this (see below) that will work under AIX.

My goal is, on boot up I want to have samba started automatically. Can somebody let me what I have to do (on AIX) for this to happen.

#!/bin/sh

#
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb - starts and stops SMB services.
#
# The following files should be synbolic links to this file:
# symlinks: /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K35smb (Kills SMB services on shutdown)
# /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91smb (Starts SMB services in multiuser mode)
# /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K35smb (Kills SMB services on reboot)
#

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting SMB services: "
daemon smbd -D
daemon nmbd -D
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/smb
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down SMB services: "
killproc smbd
killproc nmbd
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/smb
echo ""
;;
*)
echo "Usage: smb {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac

We just have a script like this:

VERSION=`ls /opt/pware/samba|sort|tail -n 1`
/opt/pware/samba/${VERSION}/sbin/nmbd -D
/opt/pware/samba/${VERSION}/sbin/smbd -D

Which is called in /etc/inittab to start up Samba on boot ... nothing fancy :-)

All:

#!/bin/sh

We start it from the /etc/rc.tcpip script.

You can try the following (from several sources)

/usr/bin/mkssys -s nmbd -p /opt/pware/sbin/nmbd -a '-F -s /opt/pware/lib/smb.conf' -u 0 -S -n 15 -f 9 -R -G samba
/usr/bin/mkssys -s smbd -p /opt/pware/sbin/smbd -a '-F -s /opt/pware/lib/smb.conf' -u 0 -S -n 15 -f 9 -R -G samba
/usr/bin/mkssys -s smbd -p /opt/pware/sbin/winbindd -a '-F -s /opt/pware/lib/smb.conf' -u 0 -S -n 15 -f 9 -R -G samba

This gives you the ability to do::

startsrc -s smbd

stopsrc -s winbindd

stopsrc -g samba

startsrc -g samba

Assuming, of course, that you want to use the IBM way of managing daemons with SRC.

Then you could add "startsrc -g samba" to inittab like:

samba:2:once:/usr/bin/startsrc -g samba >/dev/console 2>&1

This can be done with:

mkitab "samba:2:once:/usr/bin/startsrc -g samba >/dev/console 2>&1"

Just some thoughts...

Cheers,

Bill
