Stops processes after changing their status flags in the BosConfig file to NotRun
Synopsis
bos stop -server machine -process server_process... [-wait]
[{-noauth | -localauth}] [-help]
Options
-server machine
Names the server machine on which to stop the processes. The BOS Server on this machine executes the command. To run this command using a privileged
identity, specify the full DCE path name of the machine. To run this command using the unprivileged identity nobody (the equivalent of running the command with the -noauth option),
specify the machine's host name or IP address.
-process server_process
Specifies each process that the BOS Server is to stop. The BOS Server stops a process after setting its status flag in the BosConfig
file to NotRun. Refer to a process by the name assigned with the -process option of the bos create command; this name appears in the output from the bos status
command.
-wait
Indicates that the command shell prompt is not to return until all specified processes actually stop running. If this option is omitted, the prompt returns almost
immediately, even if all of the processes are not yet stopped.
-noauth
Directs bos to use the unprivileged identity nobody as the identity of the issuer of the command. The command fails if you use this option and DFS
authorization checking is not disabled on the machine specified by -server. If you use this option, do not use the -localauth option.
-localauth
Directs bos to use the DFS server principal name of the machine on which the command is issued as the identity of the issuer. Use this option only if the
command is issued from a DFS server machine (a machine that has a DFS server principal in the local Registry Database). You must be logged into the server machine as root for this option to
work. If you use this option, do not use the -noauth option.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options specified with this option are ignored.
Description
The bos stop command sets the status flag for each server process specified by -process to NotRun in the BosConfig file on the
server machine specified by -server; it then stops each process.
Privilege Required
The issuer must be listed in the admin.bos file on the machine specified by -server.
