=head1 DESCRIPTION The bos status command reports the status of processes on the server machine named by the B<-server> argument, either =over 4 =item * All of the AFS server processes listed in the F file =item * Only these processes named by the -instance argument =back =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-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 L. =item -instance Names each process for which to report status. Use the process name assigned with the B<-instance> argument to the B command. The output from the B command lists the names. =item -long Produces more detailed status information. =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 or 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 OUTPUT The output for a process includes at least one line, which reports one of the following as the process's current status: =over 4 =item * C. The process's status flag in the B file is C. For B entries, this message indicates only that the command is scheduled to run, not necessarily that it was executing when the B command was issued. =item * C. The process is not running, and its B status flag is C. =item * C. The process is not running although its status flag in the B file is C. Either an administrator used the B command to stop it, or the =item * BOS Server stopped trying to restart it after numerous failed attempts. In the second case, the auxiliary message is C. =item * C. The process is running although its status flag in the B file is C. An administrator has used the B command to start it. =back If one of the following special circumstances applies to the process, the indicated message appears in its entry: =over 4 =item * C. The process failed and created a core file in the F directory. If the BOS Server was able to restart the process after the failure, the primary status is C. =item * C. The reason for the primary status C is that the BOS Server's attempts to restart the process all failed. =back The entry for the fs process always includes a second line to report the process's C, which is one of the following: =over 4 =item * C. The File Server and Volume Server components of the File Server process are running normally. =item * C. The Salvager is running, so the File Server and Volume Server are temporarily disabled. The BOS Server restarts them as soon as the Salvager is finished. =back The entry for a cron process includes an C that reports when the command will next execute. If the -long flag is used, each entry includes the following additional information: =over 4 =item * The process's type (C, C, or C). =item * The day and time the process last started or restarted. =item * The number of C, which is how many times the BOS Server has started or restarted the process since it started itself. =item * The C time when the process (or one of the component processes in the B process) last terminated. This line does not appear if the process has not terminated since the BOS Server started. =item * The C time when the process (or one of the component processes in the B process) last failed due to an error. A further explanation such as C sometimes appears. This line does not appear if the process has not failed since the BOS Server started. =item * Each command that the BOS Server invokes to start the process, as specified by the B<-cmd> argument to the B command. =item * The pathname of the notifier program that the BOS Server invokes when the process terminates (if any), as specified by the B<-notifier> argument to the B command. =back If the -long flag is provided and the BOS Server discovers that the mode bits on files and subdirectories in the local F 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. =head1 EXAMPLES The following example command displays the status of processes on the machine B: % bos status fs3.example.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. The following example command displays a detailed status report for the B and B processes on the machine B. % bos status -server fs1.example.com -instance fs ptserver -long Instance fs, (type is fs), currently running normally. Auxiliary status is: file server running. Process last started at Wed Jan 7 5:34:49 1998 (3 proc starts) Last exit at Wed Jan 7 5:34:49 1998 Last error exit at Wed Jan 7 5:34:49 1998, due to shutdown request Command 1 is '/usr/afs/bin/fileserver' Command 2 is '/usr/afs/bin/volserver' Command 3 is '/usr/afs/bin/salvager' Instance ptserver, (type is simple) currently running normally. Process last started at Tue Jan 6 8:29:19 1998 (1 proc starts) Command 1 is '/usr/afs/bin/ptserver' =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED None =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, L, L, L, L =head1 COPYRIGHT IBM Corporation 2000.
