3 bos uninstall - Reverts to the former version of a process's binary file

17 The B<bos uninstall> command replaces each binary file specified by the
18 B<-file> argument with its C<.BAK> version on the server machine named by
19 the B<-server> argument, which is normally the binary distribution machine
20 for its CPU/operating system type. It also changes the extension on the
21 current C<.OLD> version (if any) to C<.BAK>. Each binary file must reside
22 in the local F</usr/afs/bin> directory unless the B<-dir> argument names
23 an alternate directory.
25 To start using the reverted binary immediately, issue the B<bos restart>
26 command. Otherwise, the BOS Server automatically restarts the process at
27 the time defined in the F</usr/afs/local/BosConfig> file; use the B<bos
28 getrestart> command to display the time and the B<bos setrestart> time to
35 =item B<-server> <I<machine name>>
37 Indicates the binary distribution machine on which to revert to the
38 C<.BAK> version of binaries. Identify the machine by IP address or its
39 host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For
40 details, see L<bos(8)>.
42 If the machine is not a binary distribution machine and is running an
43 C<upclientbin> process, then the files are overwritten the next time the
44 C<upclientbin> process fetches the corresponding file from the
45 distribution machine (by default within five minutes).
47 =item B<-file> <I<files to uninstall>>+
49 Names each binary file to replace with its C<.BAK> version.
51 =item B<-dir> <I<destinatino dir>>
53 Provides the complete pathname of the local disk directory containing each
54 file named by the B<-file> argument. It is necessary only if the binaries
55 are not in the F</usr/afs/bin> directory.
57 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
59 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
60 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<bos(8)>.
64 Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
65 combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
70 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
71 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<bos> command interpreter presents the
72 ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this
73 flag with the B<-cell> or B<-noauth> options. For more details, see
78 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
85 The following example command overwrites the F</usr/afs/bin/kaserver> file
86 on the machine C<fs4.abc.com> with its C<.BAK> version, and the current
87 C<.BAK> version by the C<.OLD> version.
89 % bos uninstall -server fs4.abc.com -file kaserver
91 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
93 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
94 machine named by the B<-server> argument, or must be logged onto a server
95 machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is
