+>The <TT

+> message-type sends a
+ message to smbd which will then close the client connections to
+ the named share. Note that this doesn't affect client connections
+ to any other shares. This message-type takes an argument of the
+ share name for which client connections will be close, or the
+ "*" character which will close all currently open shares.
+ This message can only be sent to <TT

+>smbd</TT

+><P
+>The <TT
+CLASS="CONSTANT"
+>ping</TT
+> message-type sends the

+ for the same number of reply "pong" messages. This can be sent to
+ any of the destinations.</P
+><P
+>The <TT
+CLASS="CONSTANT"
+>profile</TT
+> message-type sends a
+ message to an smbd to change the profile settings based on the
+ parameter. The parameter can be "on" to turn on profile stats
+ collection, "off" to turn off profile stats collection, "count"
+ to enable only collection of count stats (time stats are
+ disabled), and "flush" to zero the current profile stats. This can
+ be sent to any of the destinations.</P
+><P
+>The <TT
+CLASS="CONSTANT"
+>debuglevel</TT
+> message-type sends
+ a "request debug level" message. The current debug level setting
+ is returned by a "debuglevel" message. This can be
+ sent to any of the destinations.</P
+><P
+>The <TT
+CLASS="CONSTANT"
+>profilelevel</TT
+> message-type sends
+ a "request profile level" message. The current profile level

+>The <TT
+CLASS="CONSTANT"
+>printer-notify</TT
+> message-type sends a
+ message to smbd which in turn sends a printer notify message to
+ any Windows NT clients connected to a printer. This message-type
+ takes an argument of the printer name to send notify messages to.
+ This message can only be sent to <TT
+CLASS="CONSTANT"
+>smbd</TT
+>.</P
+><P
+>The <TT
+CLASS="CONSTANT"
+>close-share</TT
+> message-type sends a
