NAME

       bos_stop - Stops a process after changing its status flag

SYNOPSIS

       bos stop -server <machine name>
           -instance <server process name>+ [-wait]
           [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

       bos sto -s <machine name> -i <server process name>+
           [-w] [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The bos stop command sets the status flag for each process specified with the -instance argument to
       "NotRun" in the /etc/openafs/BosConfig file on the server machine named by the -server argument, then
       stops it.

       To stop a process without changing its BosConfig status flag, use the bos shutdown command instead.

OPTIONS

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

       -instance <server process name>+
           Names each process to stop. Use the process name assigned with the  -instance  argument  to  the  bos
           create command. The output from the bos status command lists the names.

       -wait
           Delays  the return of the command shell prompt until all processes actually stop. If this argument is
           omitted, the prompt returns almost immediately even if all processes are not stopped.

       -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 command stops the upserver and vlserver processes on the machine "fs7.example.com".

          % bos stop -server fs7.example.com -instance upserver 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.
