NAME

       bos_getdate - Displays the time stamps on an AFS binary file

SYNOPSIS

       bos getdate -server <machine name> -file <files to check>+
           [-dir <destination dir>] [-cell <cell name>]
           [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

       bos getd -s <machine name> -f <files to check>+
           [-d <destination dir>] [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l]
           [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The bos getdate command displays the time stamps on the current
       version," .BAK" version (if any) and ".OLD" version (if any) of each
       binary file named by the -file argument. (The BOS Server automatically
       creates ".BAK" and ".OLD" versions when new binaries are installed with
       the bos install command.) The files must reside in the /usr/lib/openafs
       directory on the server machine named by the -server argument unless
       the -dir argument indicates an alternate directory.

       To revert to the ".BAK" version of a binary, use the bos uninstall
       command. To remove obsolete binary files from the /usr/lib/openafs
       directory, use the bos prune command.

OPTIONS

       -server <machine name>
           Indicates the server machine from which to list binary files.
           Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-
           qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).

           All server machines of the same AFS system type show the same
           timestamps if the binaries were installed properly on the binary
           distribution machine for this machine’s system type, and if all
           other machines of that type are running the appropriate
           "upclientbin" process.

       -file <files to check>+
           Names each binary file to list.

       -dir <destination dir>
           Specifies the complete pathname of the local disk directory
           containing each file named by the -file argument. It is necessary
           only if the files are not in the /usr/lib/openafs directory.

       -cell <cell name>
           Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
           argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).

       -noauth
           Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not
           combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see
           bos(8).

       -localauth
           Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
           /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The bos command interpreter
           presents the ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication.
           Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For
           more details, see bos(8).

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
           are ignored.

OUTPUT

       For each file specified with the -file argument, the output displays
       the time stamp on the current (unmarked), ".BAK", and ".OLD" version.
       The output explicitly reports that a version does not exist, rather
       than simply omitting it.

EXAMPLES

       The following command examines the time stamps on the files with
       basename "kaserver" on the machine "fs2.abc.com":

          % bos getdate -server fs2.abc.com -file kaserver
          File /usr/lib/openafs/kaserver dated Mon Jan 4 10:00:36 1999.
          .BAK file dated Wed Dec 9 18:55:04 1998, no .OLD file.

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       None
