smbcontrol close-share. Check the man page.

Unfortunately that closes the entire share, not an individual connection
to that share.  I have fought with this before unless I'm missing
something.

Unlocking files is another impossible task unless (I think) you are
brave enough to edit the locks.tdb file.

I generally just script killing the PIDs as there's no other real way to
unlock stuff.  The client end is usually robust enough to deal with it
unless it needs a stateful connection (which is usually database only
thing).
