| 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. |
