List of SMB/CIFS serveradmin Commands
You can use these commands with the serveradmin tool to manage SMB/CIFS service.
See the examples in the following sections for details on how to use these commands.
Listing SMB/CIFS Users
You can use the serveradmin getConnectedUsers command to retrieve information
about connected SMB/CIFS users. For example, you can use this command to retrieve
the session IDs you need in order to disconnect users.
To list connected users:
$ sudo serveradmin command smb:command = getConnectedUsers
The computer will respond with the folowing array of settings displayed for each
connected user:
smb:usersArray:_array_index:i:loginElapsedTime = <login-elapsed-time>
smb:usersArray:_array_index:i:service = <service>
smb:usersArray:_array_index:i:connectAt = <connect-time>
smb:usersArray:_array_index:i:name = "<name>"
smb:usersArray:_array_index:i:ipAddress = "<ip-address>"
smb:usersArray:_array_index:i:sessionID = <sessionID>
