hey, folks,
I'm trying to start and stop services using the service script added in 10.3.7. However, when I did

Code:
service smbd start

nothing happened. Samba didn't start. What a bummer. Can anyone tell me what's going on?(I can't use GUI cuz I'm not at the computer.) And can anyone let me know how to start and stop service on 10.2.x using command line? Thanks.

Code:

bookie:~ > service
Usage: service --list | <service-name> <command>
bookie:~ > service --list
smtp
fax-receive
auth
bootps
chargen
chargen-udp
comsat
daytime
daytime-udp
echo
echo-udp
eppc
exec
finger
ftp
login
nmbd
ntalk
printer
shell
smb-direct
smbd
ssh
swat
telnet
tftp
time
time-udp

No ideas on whether/why it doesn't work though. I would try using the StartupItem for Samba or the smbcontrol instead if you need to script it.
