Sorry this is a little embarassing but I'm trying to set up my own server for the first time. I found great tutorial online.

http://www.intac.net/build-your-own-server/

I'm stuck at the 2nd to last line of step 4. Apparently there is no samba directory in init.d.

Why isn't there a samba directory in init.d?

Would the following work?

# sudo restart smbd
# sudo restart nmdb

If your # means you are logged in as superuser, then you don't need to run the commands with sudo, else the commands you mentioned are fine. – htorque Feb 5 '12 at 12:10

sudo service smbd start

Stop

Why not use the Upstart syntax like mentioned by the user? – htorque Feb 5 '12 at 12:09
Nothing wrong with it. I'm just lazy and sudo <start|stop|status|restart|reload> <job> is just shorter. ;) – htorque Feb 5 '12 at 18:55
@htorque I cant really remember why I made the recommendation like this also, maybe I seen something that ticked me off and I recommended this way, or its just my brain thinking about services all the time. Thx for the input! ;) – Bruno Pereira♦ Feb 5 '12 at 19:08

You can also do this way

Start

sudo /etc/init.d/smbd start

Stop

sudo /etc/init.d/smbd Stop

Restart

sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart

If u got an error and you think its not working so same do this with nmbd.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. Also are you aware that the article you've linked to is in Russian? – Octavian Damiean Feb 5 '12 at 12:43
