NAME
bos_restart - Restarts a server process
SYNOPSIS
bos restart -server <machine name> [-instance <instances>+]
[-bosserver] [-all] [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth]
[-localauth] [-help]
bos res -s <machine name> [-i <instances>+] [-b]
[-a] [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The bos restart command stops and immediately restarts server processes
on the server machine named by the -server argument. Indicate which
process or processes to restart by providing one of the following
arguments:
· The -instance argument names each AFS server process to stop and
restart immediately, regardless of its status flag in the
/etc/openafs/BosConfig file. Do not include bosserver in the list
of processes; use the -bosserver flag instead.
· The -bosserver flag stops all AFS server processes running on the
machine, including the BOS Server. A new BOS Server starts
immediately, and it starts a new instance of each process that is
marked with the "Run" status flag in the BosConfig file.
· The -all flag stops all AFS server processes running on the
machine, except the BOS Server, and immediately restarts the
processes that are marked with the "Run" status flag in the
BosConfig file.
This command does not change a process’s status flag in the BosConfig
file.
OPTIONS
-server <machine name>
Indicates the server machine on which to restart each process.
Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-
qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).
-instance <instances>+
Names each process to stop and then restart immediately regardless
of its status flag setting. Use the process name assigned with the
-instance argument to the bos create command. The output from the
bos status command lists the names. Provide this flag or one of the
-bosserver or -all options, but do not combine them.
-bosserver
Stops all AFS server processes running on the machine, including
the BOS Server. A new BOS Server instance immediately starts, and
starts all processes marked with the "Run" status flag in the
BosConfig file. Provide this flag or one of the -instance or -all
options, but do not combine them.
-all
Stops all AFS server processes running on the machine other than
the BOS Server, and immediately restarts the processes marked with
the Run status flag in the BosConfig file. Provide this flag or one
of the -instance or -bosserver options, but do not combine them.
-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.
EXAMPLES
The following command stops and restarts all processes running on the
machine "fs3.abc.com", including the BOS Server.
% bos restart -server fs3.abc.com -bosserver
The following command stops and restarts all processes running on the
machine "fs5.abc.com", excluding the BOS Server.
% bos restart -server fs5.abc.com -all
The following command stops and restarts the Protection Server and
Volume Location (VL) Server processes on the machine "db3.abc.com":
% bos restart -server db3.abc.com -instance ptserver vlserver
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on
the machine named by the -server argument, or must be logged onto a
server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is
included.
