NAME

       bos_startup - Starts a process without changing its status flag

SYNOPSIS

       bos startup -server <machine name> [-instance <instances>+]
           [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

       bos startu -s <machine name> [-i <instances>+]
           [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The bos startup command starts, on the server machine named by the -server argument, either:

       •   All  AFS  server  processes  not  currently  running  but  marked  with  the "Run" status flag in the
           /etc/openafs/BosConfig file.

       •   Each process specified by -instance argument, even if its  status  flag  in  the  BosConfig  file  is
           "NotRun".

       To start a process and set its BosConfig status flag to "Run", use the bos start command instead.

OPTIONS

       -server <machine name>
           Indicates  the  server machine on which to start processes. 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 start. Use the process name assigned with the -instance  argument  to  the  bos
           create command. The output from the bos status command lists the names.

       -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 starts all processes marked with status flag "Run" in the  BosConfig  file  on  the
       machine "fs3.example.com" that are not currently running.

          % bos startup fs3.example.com

       The  following  command  starts  the  buserver, kaserver, ptserver, and vlserver processes running on the
       machine "db2.example.com", even if their status flags in the BosConfig file are "NotRun".

          % bos startup -server db2.example.com \
              -instance buserver kaserver 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.
