Purpose

Displays the status of server processes

Synopsis

bos status -server <machine name>  [-instance <server process name>+]  
           [-long]  [-cell <cell name>]  [-noauth]  [-localauth]  [-help] 
    
bos stat -s <machine name>  [-i <server process name>+] 
         [-lon]  [-c <cell name>]  [-n]  [-loc]  [-h] 

Description

The bos status command reports the status of processes on the server machine named by the -server argument, either

Options

-server
Indicates the server machine for which to report server process status. 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 for which to report status. Use the process name assigned with the -instance argument to the bos command. The output from the bos status command lists the names.

-long
Produces more detailed status information.

-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.

Output

The output for a process includes at least one line, which reports one of the following as the process's current status:

If one of the following special circumstances applies to the process, the indicated message appears in its entry:

The entry for the fs process always includes a second line to report the process's Auxiliary status, which is one of the following:

The entry for a cron process includes an Auxiliary status that reports when the command will next execute.

If the -long flag is used, each entry includes the following additional information:

If the -long flag is provided and the BOS Server discovers that the mode bits on files and subdirectories in the local /usr/afs directory differ from the expected values, it prints the following warning message:

   Bosserver reports inappropriate access on server directories
   

The following chart summarizes the expected mode bit settings. A question mark indicates that the BOS Server does not check that bit.

/usr/afs/bin drwxr?xr-x
/usr/afs/db drwx???---
/usr/afs/etc drwxr?xr-x

Examples

The following example command displays the status of processes on the machine fs3.abc.com:

   % bos status fs3.abc.com
   Instance buserver, currently running normally.
   Instance kaserver, currently running normally.
   Instance ptserver, currently running normally.
   Instance vlserver, currently running normally.
   Instance fs, has core file, currently running normally.
       Auxiliary status is: file server running.
   Instance upserver, currently running normally.
   Instance runntp, currently running normally.
   

The following example command displays a detailed status report for the fs and ptserver processes on the machine fs1.abc.com.

   % bos status -server fs1.abc.com -instance fs ptserver -long
   Instance fs, (type is fs), currently running normally.
      Auxiliary status is: file server running.

      Last exit at Wed Jan 7 5:34:49 1998 
      Last error exit at Wed Jan 7 5:34:49 1998, due to shutdown

      Command 2 is '/usr/afs/bin/volserver'
      Command 3 is '/usr/afs/bin/salvager'
   Instance ptserver, (type is simple) currently running normally.
