Restart Samba script

I'm having some strange problems with my windows services. I need to restart it several times a day to keep my windows machines hitting their home directories and printing.

Does anyone have a good way to automatically restart windows services on a regular basis? I had a script I used to use years ago on a Linux machine, but don't remember how I did it.

Thanks!

lots, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

exit 0

Had the script running for a few days, but it caused all kinds of errors with folks using Word docs on their Home Drives (Windows and Macs). Any other suggestions?

I have raised the OS level in my smb.conf file to 255 and it seems to be still losing elections to someone.

Any help would be great!!

try something like this:

#!/bin/bash

/usr/sbin/serveradmin stop smb
/usr/sbin/serveradmin start smb
