+.SH NAME
+smbcontrol \- send messages to smbd or nmbd processes
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+\fBsmbcontrol\fR [ \fB-i\fR ] 
+.sp
+\fBsmbcontrol\fR [ \fBdestination\fR ]  [ \fBmessage-type\fR ]  [ \fBparameter\fR ] 
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This tool is part of the  Sambasuite.
+.PP
+\fBsmbcontrol\fR is a very small program, which 
+sends messages to an smbd(8)or 
+an nmbd(8)daemon running on the 
+system.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.TP
+\fB-i\fR
+Run interactively. Individual commands 
+of the form destination message-type parameters can be entered 
+on STDIN. An empty command line or a "q" will quit the 
+program.
+.TP
+\fBdestination\fR
+One of \fInmbd\fR
+\fIsmbd\fR or a process ID.
+
+The \fIsmbd\fR destination causes the 
+message to "broadcast" to all smbd daemons.
+
+The \fInmbd\fR destination causes the 
+message to be sent to the nmbd daemon specified in the 
+\fInmbd.pid\fR file.
+
+If a single process ID is given, the message is sent 
+to only that process.
+.TP
+\fBmessage-type\fR
+One of: debug, 
+force-election, ping
+, profile,  debuglevel, profilelevel, 
+or printer-notify.
+
+The debug message-type allows 
+the debug level to be set to the value specified by the 
+parameter. This can be sent to any of the destinations.
+
+The force-election message-type can only be 
+sent to the nmbd destination. This message 
+causes the \fBnmbd\fR daemon to force a new browse
+master election.
+
+The ping message-type sends the 
+number of "ping" messages specified by the parameter and waits 
+for the same number of reply "pong" messages. This can be sent to 
+any of the destinations.
+
+The profile 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.
+
+The debuglevel 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.
+
+The profilelevel message-type sends 
+a "request profile level" message. The current profile level 
+setting is returned by a "profilelevel" message. This can be sent 
+to any of the destinations.
+
+The printer-notify 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 smbd.
+
+The close-share message-type sends a
+message to smbd which forces smbd to close the share that was
+specified as an argument. This may be useful if you made changes
+to the access controls on the share. 
+.TP
+\fBparameters\fR
+any parameters required for the message-type
+.SH "VERSION"
+.PP
+This man page is correct for version 2.2 of 
+the Samba suite.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.PP
+\fBnmbd(8)\fR, 
+and \fBsmbd(8)\fR.
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+.PP
+The original Samba software and related utilities 
+were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
+by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar 
+to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
+.PP
+The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. 
+The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another 
+excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
+ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0 
+release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for 
+Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
