NAME

       bos_restart - 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  /etc/openafs/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 <machine name>
           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 bos(8).

       -instance <instances>+
           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 <cell name>
           Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with  the  -localauth  flag.
           For more details, see bos(8).

       -noauth
           Assigns  the  unprivileged  identity  "anonymous"  to  the  issuer. Do not combine this flag with the
           -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).

       -localauth
           Constructs  a  server  ticket  using  a   key   from   the   local   /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile   or
           /etc/openafs/server/KeyFileExt  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 bos(8).

       -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.example.com",
       including the BOS Server.

          % bos restart -server fs3.example.com -bosserver

       The following command stops  and  restarts  all  processes  running  on  the  machine  "fs5.example.com",
       excluding the BOS Server.

          % bos restart -server fs5.example.com -all

       The  following command stops and restarts the Protection Server and Volume Location (VL) Server processes
       on the machine "db3.example.com":

          % bos restart -server db3.example.com -instance ptserver vlserver

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       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 "root" if the -localauth flag is
       included.
