=head1 DESCRIPTION The B command executes the indicated command on the file server machine named by the B<-server> argument. Its intended use is to reboot the machine, using the F command or equivalent. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-server> > Indicates the server machine on which to execute the command. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see L. =item B<-cmd> > Specifies the complete local disk pathname of the command to execute (for example, F). Surround this argument with double quotes (C<"">) if the command contains one or more spaces. =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 reboots the machine C. The issuer has previously issued the B command to shutdown all processes cleanly. % bos exec -server fs2.abc.com -cmd /sbin/shutdown -r now =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 is not available on servers running in restricted mode. =head1 SEE ALSO L =head1 COPYRIGHT IBM Corporation 2000. All Rights Reserved.
