Hi,

I am copying one file from my client to smb server.But when I reload SMB.CONF using 'service smb restart' ,copying process get stopped and it gives error as 
cannot copy : the specified network is not available.
I want to reload my SMB.CONF file without stopping that copying process.plz give me another way to load SMB.CONF.

thanks.
