Hi Monks. I needed to know which windows users were connected through Samba to the server and use the info in another perl program on my site. Now I can check the logged in users in the building on-line. Handy!
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#example samba-user checker
use strict;
my $user;
my $pid;
my $loginname;
my $machine;
my $dow;
my $mon;
my $day;
my $time;
my $year;
my $string;
my $uptime;

# first filter out the relevant userinfo:
open SMB, "smbstatus -b|grep :|";
while(<SMB>){
($pid,$loginname,$machine,$dow,$mon,$day,$time,$year) = split /\s+/, $
+_, 8;
print "$loginname logged in on machine: $machine (login: $mon $day - $
+time)\n";
$user++;
}
close SMB;
print "\ntotal users: $user\n";
