<P>Traces BOS Server operations
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
<P>The <B>BosLog</B> file records a trace of Basic OverSeer (BOS) Server
(<B>bosserver</B> process) operations on the local machine and describes
any error conditions it encounters.
<P>If the <B>BosLog</B> file does not already exist in the
<B>/usr/afs/logs</B> directory when the BOS Server starts, the server
process creates it and writes initial start-up messages to it. If there
is an existing file, the BOS server renames it to
<B>BosLog.old</B>, overwriting the existing
<B>BosLog.old</B> file if it exists.
<P>The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the
<B>/usr/afs/etc/UserList</B> file can use the <B>bos getlog</B>
command to display its contents. Alternatively, log onto the server
machine and use a text editor or a file display command such as the UNIX
<B>cat</B> command. By default, the mode bits on the
<B>BosLog</B> file grant the required <B>r</B> (<B>read</B>)
permission to all users.
<P>The BOS Server records operations only as it completes them, and cannot
recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents are
useful for administrative evaluation of process failures and other
problems.
