NAME

       bos_prune - Removes obsolete files from /usr/lib/openafs and /var/log/openafs

SYNOPSIS

       bos prune -server <machine name> [-bak] [-old] [-core]
           [-all] [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth]
           [-help]

       bos p -s <machine name> [-b] [-o] [-co] [-a]
           [-ce <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The bos prune command removes files from the local disk of the server machine named by the -server
       argument, as specified by one or more of the following flags provided on the command line:

       •   The -bak flag removes all files from the /usr/lib/openafs directory that have a ".BAK" extension.

       •   The -old flag removes all files from the /usr/lib/openafs directory that have a ".OLD" extension.

       •   The -core flag removes all files from the /var/log/openafs directory that have a "core." prefix.

       •   The -all flag removes all three types of files at once.

       (If none of these flags are included, the command appears to succeed, but removes no files at all.)

       To  display  the  timestamp on the current, ".BAK", and ".OLD" versions of one or more files, use the bos
       getdate command.

OPTIONS

       -server <machine name>
           Indicates the server machine from which to remove files. Identify the machine by IP  address  or  its
           host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).

       -bak
           Removes  all  files  from the /usr/lib/openafs directory that have a ".BAK" extension. Do not combine
           this flag and the -all flag.

       -old
           Removes all files from the /usr/lib/openafs directory that have a ".OLD" extension.  Do  not  combine
           this flag and the -all flag.

       -core
           Removes  all  files  from  the /var/log/openafs directory that have a "core."  prefix. Do not combine
           this flag and the -all flag.

       -all
           Combines the effect of the -bak, -old, and -core flags. Do not combine this flag with  any  of  those
           three.

       -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  example  removes  all  files  from  the  /usr/lib/openafs  directory   on   the   machine
       "fs3.example.com" that have a ".BAK" or ".OLD" extension.

          % bos prune -server fs3.example.com -bak -old

       The   following   example   removes  all  files  from  the  /usr/lib/openafs  directory  on  the  machine
       "db2.example.com" that have a ".BAK" or  ".OLD"  extension,  and  all  files  from  the  /var/log/openafs
       directory that have a "core."  prefix.

          % bos prune -server db2.example.com -all

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.

       The bos prune command cannot be run against servers which are in restricted mode.
