bos stop - Stops a process after changing its status flag

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]

The bos stop command sets the status flag for each process specified with the -instance argument to CWNotRun 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.

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. 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 example command stops the upserver and runntp processes on the machine CWfs7.abc.com.

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

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.
