BOS_STOP(8)						       AFS Command Reference						       BOS_STOP(8)

NAME

       bos_stop - Stops a process after changing its status flag

SYNOPSIS

       bos stop -server <machine name>
	   -instance <server process name>+ [-wait]
	   [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

       bos sto -s <machine name> -i <server process name>+
	   [-w] [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The bos stop command sets the status flag for each process specified with the -instance argument to "NotRun" in the /etc/openafs/BosConfig
       file on the server machine named by the -server argument, then stops it.

       To stop a process without changing its BosConfig status flag, use the bos shutdown command instead.

OPTIONS

       -server <machine name>
	   Indicates the server machine on which to stop processes. 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 stop. Use the process name assigned with the -instance argument to the bos create command. The output from the
	   bos status command lists the names.

       -wait
	   Delays the return of the command shell prompt until all processes actually stop. If this argument is omitted, the prompt returns almost
	   immediately even if all processes are not stopped.

       -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 example command stops the upserver and runntp processes on the machine "fs7.abc.com".

	  % bos stop -server fs7.abc.com -instance upserver runntp

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.
