The recommended procedure for smbclient in scripts is to use the -c
option for the command string. In your case that would probably be
something like
smbclient //server/backup tfc651800 -U administrator -c "put
rubylive${DAY}.tgz; exit"
Is it really necessary to use the administrator account for pushing a
backup file to the server?
