How to restart samba server?

Sorry this is a little embarassing but I'm trying to set up my own server for the first time. I found great tutorial online.

I'm stuck at the 2nd to last line of step 4. Apparently there is no samba directory in init.d.

Why isn't there a samba directory in init.d?

Would the following work?

# sudo restart smbd
# sudo restart nmdb

You can also do this way:

Start

sudo /etc/init.d/smbd start

Stop

sudo /etc/init.d/smbd stop

Restart

sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart

If you got an error, try using these commends this nmbd instead.

you may also try this :

check the name of the service:

service --status-all

restart the service

sudo service samba restart

On RHEL you start smb and nmb:

systemctl start smb
systemctl start nmb

Next, check if they started:

ps -elf | grep smbd
ps -elf | grep nmbd
