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.
