Admin, you can cron a shell script using the output from "uptime" to do this.

Something like:

Code:

#!/bin/ksh

MAXLOAD=8.5

loadavg=`uptime | awk '{print $11}' | awk -F"," '{print $1}'`

if [ $loadavg -eq $MAXLOAD ]
then
     mailx ......  # send email notification
     # optionally, restart Samba process
fi

If you go this route, check the format of uptime on your system to make sure you "awk" the correct column.

Of course this only fixes the symptom. I'd post the problem to the samba newsgroup (assuming there is one).
