External Monitor for Shared Folders

Are you wanting to monitor a Windows File Share (using samba)?

 

 

If so you could probably write a simple external monitor which calls smbclient. If the host responds, the monitor script would return UP. You can check the man page (man smbclient) for details on the client. There are some good external monitor examples in the Codeshare (Click here).

 

 

You could take the HTTP post using curl example and modify it to call smbclient instead (Click here).
