Hello,

I am trying to build a script to notify all users on a LAN of network
conditions through the winpopup protocol. To get all users connected to
the samba server from which the winpopup messages will be sent I must
parse smbstatus' output:

	Premier      nobody   nogroup  20067   sophia08 (192.168.5.100) Mon Apr  2 17:34:43 2001
	Premier      nobody   nogroup  20079   dev03    (192.168.0.136) Mon Apr  2 17:39:33 2001
	Premier      nobody   nogroup  20124   info09   (192.168.0.221) Mon Apr  2 18:00:01 2001
	Premier      nobody   nogroup   7827   lnc_siege (192.168.0.70) Tue Mar 27 16:54:29 2001
	[etc.]

And invoke:

	% echo $MESSAGE | smbclient -M $MACHINE -I $IP

I started writing a script:

	MESSAGE="test"
	for i in `smbstatus | grep '(\w\+\.\w\+\.\w\+\.\w\+)' `; do
		echo $i | read SHARE USER GROUP MACHINE IP JUNK
		echo $MESSAGE | smbclient -M $MACHINE -I $IP
	done

But $i contains each inidividual element of the smbstatus output, not
each line. How could I capture each line into $i and the read the
elements?

Thanks in advance for your help, cheers,

PS: I'd like the script to be compatible with /bin/sh ideally
