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
           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 runntp processes on the machine
       "fs7.abc.com".

          % bos stop -server fs7.abc.com -instance upserver runntp

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.
