cron bash command to check & stop samba share Topic is solved

[mail2rst]

I want to make one bash file which can executed daily to check whether samba share is active or not? & if it is still running then stop it & if its not running then nothing to do. if i need this service i will start that application with any other methodology in future. please check my bash file & help me to fine tune it.
thanks

Hi,

you could do it as one-liner

Code: Select all

/bin/systemctl is-active --quiet smbd && /bin/systemctl stop smbd
