Example script to manage install/start and stop/uninstall of samba

[bigpcman]

Here's an example script that manages the dynamic use of samba. It manages the installation and startup, stopping and uninstall and restart of samba. It seems to work for me but that doesn't mean it's flawless.

#!/bin/sh
# bigpcman May 25, 2009
# Samba Prep
# Download samba3.tczl to tce/optional
# My usb persistent storage = /mnt/sdc1
# Make directories - sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/samba /etc/samba/private
# Edit conf file - /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Create samba password - /usr/local/bin/smbpasswd
# Save the conf file  - sudo cp -a /etc/samba/smb.conf /mnt/sdc1/samba
# Save the pass word file - sudo cp -a /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd /mnt/sdc1/samba
# Run this script - sambaserver start,  sambaserver stop, sambaserver restart

I haven't used samba in a while, but I'm surprised you didn't include the option to start/stop/restart without installing/uninstalling.  (ie, having separate commands).

Good suggestion to make it more general. I just don't use it that way now. But while I was trying to get the conf settings to work I did do a lot of start and stops so it is a good idea.
