bos shutdown - Stops a process without changing its status flag

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

bos sh << -s <machine name >>> << [-i <instances+] >>> [-w] << [-c <cell name] >>> [-n] [-l] [-h]

The bos shutdown command stops, on the server machine named by the -server argument, either All of the currently running AFS server processes, except the BOS Server. Only the processes specified by the -instance argument.

This command does not change a process's status flag in the /etc/openafs/BosConfig file, but only in the BOS Server's memory. To stop a process and change its BosConfig status flag, use the bos stop command instead.

Once stopped with this command, a process does not run again until an administrator starts it by using the bos start, bos startup, or bos restart command, or until the BOS Server restarts (assuming that the process's BosConfig status flag is CWRun).

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 the bos(8) manpage. 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. Omit this argument to stop all processes other than the BOS Server. 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. Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see the bos(8) manpage. Assigns the unprivileged identity CWanonymous to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see the bos(8) manpage. 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 the bos(8) manpage. Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

The following command stops all processes other than the BOS Server on the machine CWfs3.abc.com.

   % bos shutdown fs3.abc.com

   % bos shutdown -server fs5.abc.com -instance upserver

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 CWroot if the -localauth flag is included.
