	<para>This option specifies a command to be run whenever 
	the service is connected to. It takes the usual substitutions.</para>

	<para>An interesting example is to send the users a welcome 
	message every time they log in. Maybe a message of the day? Here 
	is an example:</para>

	<para><command moreinfo="none">preexec = csh -c 'echo \&quot;Welcome to %S!\&quot; | /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -M %m -I %I' &amp; </command></para>

	<para>Of course, this could get annoying after a while :-)</para>

	<para>See also <link linkend="PREEXECCLOSE"><parameter moreinfo="none">preexec close</parameter></link> and <link 
	linkend="POSTEXEC"><parameter moreinfo="none">postexec
	</parameter></link>.</para>

	<para>Default: <emphasis>none (no command executed)</emphasis></para>

	<para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">preexec = echo \&quot;%u connected to %S from %m (%I)\&quot; &gt;&gt; /tmp/log</command></para>
