16 The bos getdate command displays the time stamps on the current
17 version,C< .BAK> version (if any) and C<.OLD>
18 version (if any) of each binary file named by the B<-file>
19 argument. (The BOS Server automatically creates C<.BAK>
20 and C<.OLD> versions when new binaries are installed with the
21 B<bos install> command.) The files must reside in the
22 B</usr/afs/bin> directory on the server machine named by the
23 B<-server> argument unless the B<-dir> argument indicates an
26 To revert to the C<.BAK> version of a binary, use the
27 B<bos uninstall> command. To remove obsolete binary files from
28 the B</usr/afs/bin> directory, use the B<bos prune>
38 Indicates the server machine from which to list binary files.
39 Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or
40 abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see the introductory reference
41 page for the B<bos> command suite.
43 All server machines of the same AFS system type show the same timestamps if
44 the binaries were installed properly on the binary distribution machine for
45 this machine's system type, and if all other machines of that type are
46 running the appropriate B<upclientbin> process.
51 Names each binary file to list.
56 Specifies the complete pathname of the local disk directory containing
57 each file named by the B<-file> argument. It is necessary only
58 if the files are not in the B</usr/afs/bin> directory.
63 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
64 argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see the
65 introductory B<bos> reference page.
70 Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the
71 issuer. Do not combine this flag with the B<-localauth>
72 flag. For more details, see the introductory B<bos> reference
78 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
79 B</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<bos> command
80 interpreter presents the ticket to the BOS Server during mutual
81 authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> or
82 B<-noauth> options. For more details, see the introductory
83 B<bos> reference page.
87 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
94 For each file specified with the -file argument, the output
95 displays the time stamp on the current (unmarked), C<.BAK>, and
96 C<.OLD> version. The output explicitly reports that a
97 version does not exist, rather than simply omitting it.
101 The following command examines the time stamps on the files with basename
102 B<kaserver> on the machine B<fs2.abc.com>:
104 % bos getdate -server fs2.abc.com -file kaserver
105 File /usr/afs/bin/kaserver dated Mon Jan 4 10:00:36 1999.
106 .BAK file dated Wed Dec 9 18:55:04 1998, no .OLD file.
