Samba scripts, utilities and external commands

For many tasks Samba requires scripts and so called external commands. On *nix platforms these are usually shell scripts and simple Perl programs. On eComStation and OS/2 many of these commands were ported to REXX (and VX-REXX).

The Samba scripts, utilities and external commands are contributed by Herwig Bauernfeind. As the number of scripts and utilities is constantly extended and updated, they can be downloaded directly from ​Herwig's Samba page.

Among other scripts you will find there:

smb_init-*.zip package:

• smb.cmd - extended port of *nix shell script to start/stop/restart Samba.
  
  

findsmb-*.zip package:

• findsmb.cmd - port of *nix script to find SMB machines on the current or a given subnet
  
  

sharescripts-*.zip package:

• addshare.cmd - external command script to add Samba shares from a client (tested with WinXP only)
  
• delshare.cmd - external command script to remove Samba shares from a client (tested with WinXP only)
  
• changeshare.cmd - external command script to modify Samba shares from a client (tested with WinXP only)
  
  

A complete list of external scripts supported by Samba and their availability status on eComStation & OS/2 can be found here.
