=head1 DESCRIPTION The B command removes the F entry for each process indicated by the B<-instance> argument, on the server machine named by the B<-server> argument. Before issuing this command, issue the bos stop command to stop the process and set its status flag in the F file to C. The B command fails with an error message if a process's status flag is C. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-server> > Indicates the server machine on which to delete the server process entry from the F file. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see L. =item B<-instance> >+ Names each process to delete. Use the name assigned with the B<-instance> argument to the B command; process names appear in the output of the B command. =item B<-cell> > Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L. =item B<-noauth> Assigns the unprivileged identity C to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L. =item B<-localauth> Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local F file. The B command interpreter presents the ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> or B<-noauth> options. For more details, see L. =item B<-help> Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. =back =head1 EXAMPLES The following command removes the B, B, B, and B entries from the F file on C, a database server machine being decommissioned. % bos delete -server db3.example.com \ -instance buserver kaserver ptserver vlserver =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED The issuer must be listed in the F file on the machine named by the B<-server> argument, or must be logged onto a server machine as the local superuser C if the B<-localauth> flag is included. The B command cannot be run against servers which are in restricted mode. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, L, L =head1 COPYRIGHT IBM Corporation 2000. All Rights Reserved.
