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

Description

To start a process and set its BosConfig status flag to Run, use the bos start command instead.

Options

-server
Indicates the server machine on which to start processes. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see the introductory reference page for the bos command suite.

-instance
Names each process to start. Use the process name assigned with the -instance argument to the bos create command. The output from the bos status command lists the names.

-cell
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see the introductory bos reference page.

-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see the introductory bos reference page.

-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /usr/afs/etc/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 the introductory bos reference page.

-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

Examples

The following command starts all processes marked with status flag Run in the BosConfig file on the machine fs3.abc.com that are not currently running.

   % bos startup fs3.abc.com
   

The following command starts the buserver, kaserver, ptserver, and vlserver processes running on the machine db2.abc.com, even if their status flags in the BosConfig file are NotRun.

   % bos startup -server db2.abc.com -instance buserver kaserver ptserver vlserver
   

Privilege Required

The issuer must be listed in the /usr/afs/etc/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.
