NAME
       bos_install - Installs a new version of a binary file


SYNOPSIS
       bos install -server <machine name> -file <files to install>+
           [-dir <destination dir>] [-cell <cell name>]
           [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

       bos i -s <machine name> -f <files to install>+
           [-d <destination dir>] [-c <cell name>] [-n]
           [-l] [-h]


DESCRIPTION
       The bos install command copies each binary file specified with the -file argument to the local disk of
       the server machine named by the -server argument, which is normally the binary distribution machine for
       its CPU/operating system type. The destination directory is /usr/lib/openafs unless the -dir argument
       indicates an alternate directory. The source file's UNIX mode bits are preserved in the transfer.

       If there is already a file of the same name in the destination directory, the BOS Server automatically
       saves it by adding a ".BAK" extension. If there is a current ".BAK" version at least seven days old, it
       replaces the current ".OLD" version. If there is no current ".OLD" version, the current ".BAK" version
       becomes the ".OLD" version automatically. The bos getdate command displays the timestamps on the current
       versions of the file.

       To start using the new binary immediately, issue the bos restart command. Otherwise, the BOS Server
       automatically restarts the process at the time defined in the /etc/openafs/BosConfig file; use the bos
       getrestart command to display the time and the bos setrestart time to set it.


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

           If the machine is not a binary distribution machine and is running an "upclientbin" process, then the
           files are overwritten the next time the "upclientbin" process fetches the corresponding file from the
           distribution machine (by default within five minutes).

       -file <files to install>+
           Specifies the complete pathname of each binary file to copy into the destination directory. Each
           source directory can be on the local disk or in AFS, in which case the issuer of the bos install
           command must have the necessary AFS access rights and the local machine must run the Cache Manager.
           For the BOS Server to create ".BAK" and ".OLD" versions, the last element in the pathname (the
           filename) must match the name of a file in the destination directory.  bos_create(8) lists the
           standard binary file names.

       -dir <destination dir>
           Provides the complete pathname of the local disk directory in which to install binary files. It is
           necessary only if the destination directory is not /usr/lib/openafs.

       -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 copies the file /afs/example.com/rs_aix42/usr/lib/openafs/vlserver to the file
       /usr/lib/openafs/vlserver on the machine "fs3.example.com", which is the binary distribution machine for
       server machines running AIX 4.2 in the "example.com" cell. The current version of the
       /usr/lib/openafs/vlserver file is moved to /usr/lib/openafs/vlserver.BAK.

          % bos install -server fs3.example.com \
                        -file /afs/example.com/rs_aix42/usr/lib/openafs/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.

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