[Solved] How to restart samba server?
Sorry this is a little embarassing but I’m trying to set up my own server for the first time. I found great tutorial online.
http://www.intac.net/build-your-own-server/
I’m stuck at the 2nd to last line of step 4.
Apparently there is no samba directory in init.d.
Why isn’t there a samba directory in init.d?
Would the following work?
# sudo restart smbd
# sudo restart nmdb
Solution #1:
Start
sudo service smbd start
Stop
sudo service smbd stop
Restart
sudo service smbd restart
Solution #2:
You can also do this way:
Start
sudo /etc/init.d/smbd start
Stop
sudo /etc/init.d/smbd stop
Restart
sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart
If you got an error, try using these commends this nmbd instead.
Solution #3:
Starting with 15.04 and systemd, the command is systemctl restart smbd
Solution #4:
you may also try this :
check the name of the service:
service --status-all
restart the service
sudo service samba restart
Solution #5:
On RHEL you start smb and nmb:
systemctl start smb
systemctl start nmb
Next, check if they started:
ps -elf | grep smbd
ps -elf | grep nmbd
