Yeah, but I found I had to change it thus:

#!/bin/sh
# mutilated from samba.sh.sample
smbspool=/var/spool/samba
pidfiledir=/var/run
smbd=/usr/local/sbin/smbd
nmbd=/usr/local/sbin/nmbd

# start
#if [ "x$1" = "x" -o "x$1" = "xstart" ]; then
        if [ -f $smbd ]; then
                if [ -d $smbspool ]; then
                        rm -f $smbspool/*
                fi
                echo -n ' Samba'
                $smbd -D
                $nmbd -D
        fi

# stop
#elif [ "x$1" = "xstop" ]; then
#       kill `cat $pidfiledir/smbd.pid`
#       kill `cat $pidfiledir/nmbd.pid`
#fi

PS I believe it was because the parameters weren't given
