bos_getrestart8

Usage

Overview

The bos getrestart command displays two restart times from the /etc/openafs/BosConfig file on the server machine named by the -server argument:

•

The general restart time at which the BOS Server process automatically restarts itself and all processes marked with status "Run" in the BosConfig file. The default is Sunday at 4:00 a.m.

•

The binary restart time at which the BOS Server automatically restarts any process for which the time stamp on the binary file in the /usr/lib/openafs directory is later than the last restart time for the process. The default is 5:00 a.m. Use the bos getdate command to list a binary file's timestamp, and the -long flag to the bos status command to display a process's most recent restart time.

Use the bos setrestart command to set the restart times.

Options

-server <machine name>

Indicates the server machine for which to display the restart times. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).

-cell <cell name>

Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).

-noauth

Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).

-localauth

Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile or /etc/openafs/server/KeyFileExt 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 bos(8).

-help

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

Output

The output consists of two lines:

   Server <machine_name> restarts at <time>
   Server <machine_name> restarts for new binaries at <time>

Possible values for <time> include:

•

"never", indicating that the BOS Server never performs that type of restart.

•

"now", indicating that the BOS Server performs that type of restart only each time it restarts.

•

A specified day and time, indicating that the BOS Server performs that type of restart once per week. Example: "sun 4:00 am".

•

A specified time, indicating that the BOS Server performs that type of restart once per day. Examples: "11:00 pm", "3:00 am".

Examples

The following example displays the restart times for the machine "db2.example.com":

   % bos getrestart db2.example.com
   Server db2.example.com restarts at sun 4:00 am
   Server db2.example.com restarts for new binaries at 2:15 am

In the following example, the issuer abbreviates the machine name "fs1.example.com" to "fs1", relying on the cell's name server to resolve the name. The output echoes the abbreviated form.

   % bos getrestart fs1
   Server fs1 restarts at sat 5:00 am
   Server fs1 restarts for new binaries at 11:30 pm
