= 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 [http://members.aon.at/herwig.bauernfeind/samba/index.html Herwig's Samba page]. Among other scripts you will find there: '''smb_init-*.zip package:'''[[BR]] - smb.cmd - extended port of *nix shell script to start/stop/restart Samba.[[BR]][[BR]] '''findsmb-*.zip package:'''[[BR]] - findsmb.cmd - port of *nix script to find SMB machines on the current or a given subnet[[BR]][[BR]] '''sharescripts-*.zip package:'''[[BR]] - addshare.cmd - external command script to add Samba shares from a client (tested with WinXP only)[[BR]] - delshare.cmd - external command script to remove Samba shares from a client (tested with WinXP only)[[BR]] - changeshare.cmd - external command script to modify Samba shares from a client (tested with WinXP only)[[BR]][[BR]] Older revisions packages can also be found at ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/contrib
