Apologies I should of been more clear in my post but thank you for your response.

I tried running the example code, but unforunately some errors were returned in Terminal (terminal shell set to /bin/ksh);

/Scripts/check[21]: [: ']' missing
/Scripts/check[21]: 8: not found [No such file or directory]
/Scripts/check[21]: -3: not found [No such file or directory]
/Scripts/check[25]: print: -1: unknown option
Usage: print [-enprs] [-f format] [-u fd] [string ...]
/Scripts/check[30]: [: argument expected
version too old

any ideas what the problem could be?

NAME
smbstatus - report on current Samba connections SYNOPSIS
smbstatus [ -P ] [ -b ] [ -d ] [ -L ] [ -p ] [ -S ] [ -s <configuration file> ] [ -u <username> ] DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the Samba suite. smbstatus is a very simple program to list the current Samba connections. OPTIONS
-P If samba has been compiled with the profiling option, print only the contents of the profiling shared memory area. -b gives brief output. -d gives verbose output. -L causes smbstatus to only list locks. -p print a list of smbd(8) processes and exit. Useful for scripting. -S causes smbstatus to only list shares. -s <configuration file> The default configuration file name is determined at compile time. The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server. See smb.conf(5) for more information. -u <username> selects information relevant to username only. VERSION
This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite. SEE ALSO
smbd(8) and smb.conf(5) AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed. The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter 19 November 2002 SMBSTATUS(1)
