To change the behavior of the samba_statusd service update the /etc/default/samba_statusd according to your needs.
You can add any option shown in the help output of samba_statusd to the ARGS variable.
You may not want to start the service with arguments that will exit before listening starts like -help or -print-version.
To stop, start or restart the service use systemctl, e. g.:
sudo systemctl stop samba_statusd
To read the log output use journalctl, e. g.
sudo journalctl -u samba_statusd
