Hello ,
i do use several Raspberry Pi, Rock64 Mini Computer for hobby and learning and found that the Samba File Sharing on the Mac does a bit struggle when trying to serve different computer probably.
Have setup on a MacMini 09 Server running 10.6.8 several Folders for "File Sharing" using "AFP" "FTP" "SMB"
accessing those folders from the Raspberry functions always with "FTP" and less so with "SMB"
what i found out is that whenever i would restart the File Sharing service, eg. by unticking "File Sharing" and then reloading it by ticking it in the Preferences / Sharing / section, the "SMB" shared folders would show up on the Single Board Computer and be accessible in say Kodi or Libreelec.
My question is how could i restart those service eg. automate the process of unloading/restarting the File Sharing Service at intervals?
