Sounds like you've got a pid that got left behind. In that it trys to stop pid 12283 (an arbitrary number) then it starts ... immediately dies on you and leaves behind a pid. After you do the smb restart have you done a ps ax | grep smb or /etc/init.d/smb status to see if it is in fact running. Sounds almost as if it's repeatedly trying to work but can't. Not sure here others may have more info. But something is starting to sound kinda fishy. James
