[Samba] samba restart

[kenneth westelinck]

On Linux I always use 'ps fax'
On SunOS I always us 'ps -ef'
This should give you a list of all processes running. If the list is to big,
just pipe it to grep: ps fax | grep nmbd and ps fax | grep smbd. If you're
alsoe using winbindd, don't forget to grep for that as well. There's a
similar thread going on in the list called "stability". If you need decent
scripts. it might help poking around in the "stability" thread. This is a
script kindly taken from Joel Hammer ;)

The location for your pid files and binaries might be different though.
