21
22The B<bos stop> command sets the status flag for each process specified
23with the B<-instance> argument to C<NotRun> in the
24F</usr/afs/local/BosConfig> file on the server machine named by the
25B<-server> argument, then stops it.
26
27To stop a process without changing its F<BosConfig> status flag, use the
28B<bos shutdown> command instead.
29
30=head1 OPTIONS
31
32=over 4
33
34=item B<-server> <I<machine name>>
35
36Indicates the server machine on which to stop processes. Identify the
37machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or
38abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see L<bos(8)>.
39
40=item B<-instance> <I<server process name>>+
41
42Names each process to stop. Use the process name assigned with the
43B<-instance> argument to the B<bos create> command. The output from the
44B<bos status> command lists the names.
45
46=item B<-wait>
47
48Delays the return of the command shell prompt until all processes actually
49stop. If this argument is omitted, the prompt returns almost immediately
50even if all processes are not stopped.
51
52=item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
53
54Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
55with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<bos(8)>.
56
57=item B<-noauth>
58
59Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
60combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
61L<bos(8)>.
62
63=item B<-localauth>
64
65Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
66F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> or F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFileExt> file.
67The B<bos> command interpreter presents the
68ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this
69flag with the B<-cell> or B<-noauth> options. For more details, see
70L<bos(8)>.
71
72=item B<-help>
73
74Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
75ignored.
