I think you want the following info:

The samba tasks are called nmbd and smbd

you can make a script to issue a ps command piped 
to grep for these. that gets you their task numbers
i.e. ps ax | grep mbd > listofsambanames

then retrieve the tasks numbers and issuing the kill

Is not esthetic but it is doable
