[Samba] reload configuration without a stop ?

[David Landgren]

You can send all the processes a HUP and they will reload the config.
Ordinarily this should not affect them (unless the config change is,
for instance, the suppression of a share they happen to be using).

smbstatus -p | tail +5 | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill -HUP

The above should do the trick. Yes, there are probably killall or
killproc commands that do this, but they have the same name from one
OS or distro to another.
