    <title>Description</title>
    <para>The <emphasis role="bold">bos start</emphasis> command sets the status flag for each process specified
    by the <emphasis role="bold">-instance</emphasis> argument to <computeroutput>Run</computeroutput> in the <replaceable>/usr/afs/local/BosConfig</replaceable>
    file and in the BOS Server's memory on the server machine named by the
    <emphasis role="bold">-server</emphasis> argument, then starts it. If the process is already running,
    the command's only effect is to guarantee that the status flag is <computeroutput>Run</computeroutput>;
    it does not restart the process.</para>

    <para>To start a process without changing its status flag in the <replaceable>BosConfig</replaceable>
    file, use the <emphasis role="bold">bos startup</emphasis> command instead.</para>
