[Samba] smbstatus questions

[David Roid]

Hello list,

I'm running a samba 3.5.3 CTDB cluster, found the output is different

Q1:  What does the "0:" mean in pid column? There was no such stuff in
non-CTDB smbstatus output.

<snip>
samba_01:~ # smbstatus -S 2>/dev/null

Service      pid     machine       Connected at
-------------------------------------------------------
ben          0:21363   samba         Mon Oct 25 17:59:35 2010
ben          0:21442   samba         Mon Oct 25 17:59:39 2010

Q2: How to parse smbstatus to capture service column and pid column? as in
case of homes share the service is named as username, while domain username
may contain whitespace(s)?

<snip>
samba_01:~ # smbstatus -S 2>/dev/null

Service      pid     machine       Connected at
-------------------------------------------------------
ben                     0:21363   samba         Mon Oct 25 17:59:35 2010

<< "james[space][space]ford", awk/cut can't handle this well, they only keep
one space.

I need these column to close specific shares with smbcontrol, but fail to
capture them. Is there any alternative?
