3 bos_uninstall - Reverts to the former version of a process's binary file
10 B<bos uninstall> S<<< B<-server> <I<machine name>> >>>
11 S<<< B<-file> <I<files to uninstall>>+ >>> S<<< [B<-dir> <I<destination dir>>] >>>
12 S<<< [B<-cell> <I<cell name>>] >>> [B<-noauth>] [B<-localauth>] [B<-help>]
14 B<bos u> S<<< B<-s> <I<machine name>> >>> S<<< B<-f> <I<files to uninstall>>+ >>>
15 S<<< [B<-d> <I<destination dir>>] >>> S<<< [B<-c> <I<cell name>>] >>> [B<-n>] [B<-l>]
23 The B<bos uninstall> command replaces each binary file specified by the
24 B<-file> argument with its C<.BAK> version on the server machine named by
25 the B<-server> argument, which is normally the binary distribution machine
26 for its CPU/operating system type. It also changes the extension on the
27 current C<.OLD> version (if any) to C<.BAK>. Each binary file must reside
28 in the local F</usr/afs/bin> directory unless the B<-dir> argument names
29 an alternate directory.
31 To start using the reverted binary immediately, issue the B<bos restart>
32 command. Otherwise, the BOS Server automatically restarts the process at
33 the time defined in the F</usr/afs/local/BosConfig> file; use the B<bos
34 getrestart> command to display the time and the B<bos setrestart> time to
41 =item B<-server> <I<machine name>>
43 Indicates the binary distribution machine on which to revert to the
44 C<.BAK> version of binaries. Identify the machine by IP address or its
45 host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For
46 details, see L<bos(8)>.
48 If the machine is not a binary distribution machine and is running an
49 C<upclientbin> process, then the files are overwritten the next time the
50 C<upclientbin> process fetches the corresponding file from the
51 distribution machine (by default within five minutes).
53 =item B<-file> <I<files to uninstall>>+
55 Names each binary file to replace with its C<.BAK> version.
57 =item B<-dir> <I<destinatino dir>>
59 Provides the complete pathname of the local disk directory containing each
60 file named by the B<-file> argument. It is necessary only if the binaries
61 are not in the F</usr/afs/bin> directory.
63 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
65 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
66 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<bos(8)>.
70 Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
71 combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
76 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
77 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> or F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFileExt> file.
78 The B<bos> command interpreter presents the
79 ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this
80 flag with the B<-cell> or B<-noauth> options. For more details, see
85 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
92 The following example command overwrites the F</usr/afs/bin/kaserver> file
93 on the machine C<fs4.example.com> with its C<.BAK> version, and the current
94 C<.BAK> version by the C<.OLD> version.
96 % bos uninstall -server fs4.example.com -file kaserver
98 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
100 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
101 machine named by the B<-server> argument, or must be logged onto a server
102 machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is
