NAME

       bos_shutdown - Stops a process without changing its status flag

SYNOPSIS

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

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

DESCRIPTION

       The bos shutdown command stops, on the server machine named by the -server argument,
       either

       •   All of the currently running AFS server processes, except the BOS Server.

       •   Only the processes specified by the -instance argument.

       This command does not change a process's status flag in the /etc/openafs/BosConfig file,
       but only in the BOS Server's memory. To stop a process and change its BosConfig status
       flag, use the bos stop command instead.

       Once stopped with this command, a process does not run again until an administrator starts
       it by using the bos start, bos startup, or bos restart command, or until the BOS Server
       restarts (assuming that the process's BosConfig status flag is "Run").

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 <instances>+
           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.
           Omit this argument to stop all processes other than the BOS Server.

       -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 command stops all processes other than the BOS Server on the machine
       "fs3.example.com".

          % bos shutdown fs3.example.com

       The following command stops the "upserver" process (server portion of the Update Server)
       on the machine "fs5.example.com".

          % bos shutdown -server fs5.example.com -instance upserver

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.
