3 | BosLog - Traces BOS Server operations | |
4 | ||
5 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
6 | ||
7 | The F<BosLog> file records a trace of Basic OverSeer (BOS) Server | |
8 | (B<bosserver> process) operations on the local machine and describes any | |
9 | error conditions it encounters. | |
10 | ||
11 | If the F<BosLog> file does not already exist in the F</usr/afs/logs> | |
12 | directory when the BOS Server starts, the server process creates it and | |
13 | writes initial start-up messages to it. | |
14 | ||
15 | The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the | |
16 | F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file can use the B<bos getlog> command to display | |
17 | its contents. Alternatively, log onto the server machine and use a text | |
18 | editor or a file display command such as the UNIX B<cat> command. By | |
19 | default, the mode bits on the F<BosLog> file grant the required C<r> | |
20 | (read) permission to all users. | |
21 | ||
22 | The BOS Server records operations only as it completes them, and cannot | |
23 | recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents are useful | |
24 | for administrative evaluation of process failures and other problems. | |
