Hi !

oups ! You are right.

i test it and effectively smbd and nmbd are executed.
I change the script like first.

Thanks for the explanation.

otherwise the script don't work as i expected. i have tow different 
script : one execute 1 instance for the domainn Domain1 and an other one 
for the domain  domain1. The tow script refer to tow different smb.conf 
file.

1 - When i execute the first one first: it 's OK
    But when i execute the second one after: nothing! the process are 
not executed.

2 - When i execute the second one first: it's ok
    But when i execute the first one after: nothing! the process are not 
executed
   
it's like i could only execute only one instance !

how to get around ?
