bos_help - Displays help for bos commands SYNOPSIS
bos help [-topic <help string>+] [-help] bos h [-t <help string>+] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The bos help command displays the complete online help entry (short description and syntax statement) for each command operation code specified by the -topic argument. If the -topic argument is omitted, the output includes the first line (name and short description) of the online help entry for every bos command. To list every bos command whose name or short description includes a specified keyword, use the bos apropos command. OPTIONS
-topic <help string>+ Indicates each command for which to display the complete online help entry. Omit the bos part of the command name, providing only the operation code (for example, specify status, not bos status). If this argument is omitted, the output briefly describes every bos command. -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. OUTPUT
The online help entry for each bos command consists of the following two or three lines: o The first line names the command and briefly describes its function. o The second line lists aliases for the command, if any. o The final line, which begins with the string "Usage", lists the command's options in the prescribed order. Online help entries use the same symbols (for example, brackets) as the reference pages in this document. EXAMPLES
The following command displays the online help entry for the bos status command: % bos help status bos status: show server instance status Usage: bos status -server <machine name> [-instance <server process name>+] [-long] [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help] PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

BOS_DELETE(8) AFS Command Reference BOS_DELETE(8) NAME
bos_delete - Deletes a server process from the BosConfig file SYNOPSIS
bos delete -server <machine name> -instance <server process name>+ [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help] bos d -s <machine name> -i <server process name>+ [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The bos delete command removes the /etc/openafs/BosConfig entry for each process indicated by the -instance argument, on the server machine named by the -server argument. Before issuing this command, issue the bos stop command to stop the process and set its status flag in the BosConfig file to "NotRun". The bos delete command fails with an error message if a process's status flag is "Run". OPTIONS
-server <machine name> Indicates the server machine on which to delete the server process entry from the /etc/openafs/BosConfig file. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8). -instance <server process name>+ Names each process to delete. Use the name assigned with the -instance argument to the bos create command; process names appear in the output of the bos status command. -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 removes the buserver, kaserver, ptserver, and vlserver entries from the BosConfig file on "db3.abc.com", a database server machine being decommissioned. % bos delete -server db3.abc.com -instance buserver kaserver 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. The bos delete command cannot be run against servers which are in restricted mode. SEE ALSO
