Administration Reference
Purpose
Restarts a server process
Synopsis
bos restart -server <machine name> [-instance <instances>+] [-bosserver]
[-all] [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]
bos res -s <machine name> [-i <instances>+] [-b] [-a]
[-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]
Description
The bos restart command stops and immediately restarts server
processes on the server machine named by the -server
argument. Indicate which process or processes to restart by providing
one of the following arguments:
- The -instance argument names each AFS server process to stop
and restart immediately, regardless of its status flag in the
/usr/afs/local/BosConfig file. Do not include
bosserver in the list of processes; use the
-bosserver flag instead.
- The -bosserver flag stops all AFS server processes running on
the machine, including the BOS Server. A new BOS Server starts
immediately, and it starts a new instance of each process that is marked with
the Run status flag in the BosConfig file.
- The -all flag stops all AFS server processes running on the
machine, except the BOS Server, and immediately restarts the processes that
are marked with the Run status flag in the BosConfig
file.
This command does not change a process's status flag in the
BosConfig file.
Options
- -server
- Indicates the server machine on which to restart each process.
Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or
abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see the introductory reference
page for the bos command suite.
- -instance
- Names each process to stop and then restart immediately regardless of its
status flag setting. Use the process name assigned with the
-instance argument to the bos create command. The
output from the bos status command lists the names. Provide
this flag or one of the -bosserver or -all options, but
do not combine them.
- -bosserver
- Stops all AFS server processes running on the machine, including the BOS
Server. A new BOS Server instance immediately starts, and starts all
processes marked with the Run status flag in the
BosConfig file. Provide this flag or one of the
-instance or -all options, but do not combine
them.
- -all
- Stops all AFS server processes running on the machine other than the BOS
Server, and immediately restarts the processes marked with the Run
status flag in the BosConfig file. Provide this flag or one
of the -instance or -bosserver options, but do not
combine them.
- -cell
- Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see the
introductory bos reference page.
- -noauth
- Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the
issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth
flag. For more details, see the introductory bos reference
page.
- -localauth
- Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
/usr/afs/etc/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 introductory
bos reference page.
- -help
- Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
Examples
The following command stops and restarts all processes running on the
machine fs3.abc.com, including the BOS Server.
% bos restart -server fs3.abc.com -bosserver
The following command stops and restarts all processes running on the
machine fs5.abc.com, excluding the BOS Server.
% bos restart -server fs5.abc.com -all
The following command stops and restarts the Protection Server and Volume
Location (VL) Server processes on the machine
db3.abc.com:
% bos restart -server db3.abc.com -instance ptserver vlserver
Privilege Required
The issuer must be listed in the /usr/afs/etc/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.
