Which of the following commands terminates all running instances of the Samba daemon handling for SMB shares?

Asmbcontrol samba shutdown

Bsmbcontrol nmbd shutdown

Csmbcontrol shutdown

Dsmbcontrol smbd shutdown

Esmbcontrol cifs stop

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Samba is a suite of programs that allows SMB/CIFS clients to interact with file and print services on a Linux/UNIX server.

smbd is the Samba daemon responsible for handling SMB/CIFS requests.

The smbcontrol utility is used to send messages to running Samba daemons.

The correct way to terminate all running instances of the Samba daemon handling SMB shares is to send a shutdown message to smbd using the command smbcontrol smbd shutdown.

This command ensures that only the smbd processes, which are responsible for handling SMB shares, are terminated without affecting other Samba components like nmbd (NetBIOS name server daemon).

D, no doubt about it. Smbcontrol smbd shutdown is the perfect command for when you want to shut down your Samba daemon and then immediately regret it.

I'm going to have to go with D on this one. The other options just seem a bit too generic. Plus, I heard the smbcontrol command is the Samba version of the Konami code.

I agree with Lashunda, because samba is the main daemon for SMB shares.

Definitely D. I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' smbcontrol smbd shutdown? It's like a secret handshake for sysadmins.

A and D both sound like they could work, but I'm going to go with D. Shutting down the smbd service seems like the most direct way to terminate all running Samba instances.

I think option D is the correct answer. Smbcontrol is the command to control the Samba daemon, and smbd is the specific service that handles SMB shares.
