BOS_EXEC(8)		     AFS Command Reference		   BOS_EXEC(8)

NAME
       bos_exec - Executes a command on a remote server machine

SYNOPSIS
       bos exec -server <machine name> -cmd <command to execute>
	   [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

       bos e -s <machine name> -cm <command to execute>
	   [-ce <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       The bos exec command executes the indicated command on the file server
       machine named by the -server argument. Its intended use is to reboot
       the machine, using the /sbin/reboot command or equivalent.

OPTIONS
       -server <machine name>
	   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 bos(8).

       -cmd <command to execute>
	   Specifies the complete local disk pathname of the command to
	   execute (for example, /sbin/reboot). Surround this argument with
	   double quotes ("") if the command contains one or more spaces.

       -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
	   /usr/afs/etc/KeyFile 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.

EXAMPLES
       The following command reboots the machine "fs2.abc.com". The issuer has
       previously issued the bos shutdown command to shutdown all processes
       cleanly.

	  % bos exec -server fs2.abc.com -cmd /sbin/shutdown -r now

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
       The issuer must be listed in the /usr/afs/etc/UserList file on the
       machine named by the -server argument, or must be logged onto a server
       machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is
       included.

       The bos exec command is not available on servers running in restricted
       mode.
