Any interest in swat enhancement

[Ron Alexander]

Short sighted on my part. In my situation, the value from the smb.conf is
all I need.

I guess I will have to wait for someone to create the kill cmd. Just take my
word that porting the Linux version of kill or even attempting to create one
from scratch from POSIX documentation will not work. It needs to be modelled
after the VOS stop_process or break_process commands. I am not sure that we
don't still have unresolved issues with forking and related matters.

Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways,
Ron

How do you intend to determine the "current" debug level? Currently
this info is not included anywhere (other than parsing the log file).

Maybe we need to consider a modification to the struct session_record
used by smbstatus to include the current debug level?
