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.
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 5 Answers
Start
sudo service smbd start Stop
sudo service smbd stop Restart
sudo service smbd restart Starting with 15.04 and systemd, the command is systemctl restart smbd
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.
1you may also try this :
check the name of the service:
service --status-all restart the service
sudo service samba restart 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
