can not restart samba

Question

I installed samba sudo apt-get install samba.

then I made configuration but when i write :

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

message appears " command not found "

and when I write ls /etc/init.d I didn't find samba .

solutions tested :

sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart

sudo /etc/init.d/nmbd restart

sudo service samba restart

and re-install samba

can you hint me please .

note : my os is ubuntu10.4 LTS

Answer 1

sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart

Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service smbd restart

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities, e.g. stop smbd ; start smbd. The restart(8) utility is also available.

smbd stop/waiting

smbd start/running, process 7831

So the commands to start/stop samba:

sudo stop smbd

sudo start smbd
