This is the initial conversion of the AFS Adminstrators Reference into POD for use as man pages. The man pages are now generated via pod2man from regen.sh so that only those working from CVS have to have pod2man available. The Makefile only installs. The pages have also been sorted out into pod1, pod5, and pod8 directories, making conversion to the right section of man page easier without maintaining a separate list and allowing for names to be duplicated between pod5 and pod1 or pod8 (which will likely be needed in a few cases). This reconversion is done with a new script based on work by Chas Williams. In some cases, the output is worse than the previous POD pages, but this is a more comprehensive conversion. This is only the first step, and this initial conversion has various problems. In addition, the file man pages that didn't have simple names have not been converted in this pass and will be added later. Some of the man pages have syntax problems and all of them have formatting errors. The next editing pass, coming shortly, will clean up most of the remaining mess.

BosLog - Traces BOS Server operations
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The BosLog file records a trace of Basic OverSeer (BOS) Server
|
|
(B<bosserver> process) operations on the local machine and describes
|
|
any error conditions it encounters.
|
|
|
|
If the BosLog file does not already exist in the
|
|
B</usr/afs/logs> 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>, overwriting the existing
|
|
B<BosLog.old> file if it exists.
|
|
|
|
The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the
|
|
B</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file can use the B<bos getlog>
|
|
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> command. By default, the mode bits on the
|
|
B<BosLog> file grant the required B<r> (B<read>)
|
|
permission to all users.
|
|
|
|
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.
