  21 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  22
  23 The B<bos install> command copies each binary file specified with the
  24 B<-file> argument to the local disk of the server machine named by the
  25 B<-server> argument, which is normally the binary distribution machine for
  26 its CPU/operating system type. The destination directory is
  27 F</usr/afs/bin> unless the B<-dir> argument indicates an alternate
  28 directory. The source file's UNIX mode bits are preserved in the transfer.
  29
  30 If there is already a file of the same name in the destination directory,
  31 the BOS Server automatically saves it by adding a C<.BAK> extension. If
  32 there is a current C<.BAK> version at least seven days old, it replaces
  33 the current C<.OLD> version. If there is no current C<.OLD> version, the
  34 current C<.BAK> version becomes the C<.OLD> version automatically. The
  35 B<bos getdate> command displays the timestamps on the current versions of
  36 the file.
  37
  38 To start using the new binary immediately, issue the bos restart
  39 command. Otherwise, the BOS Server automatically restarts the process at
  40 the time defined in the F</usr/afs/local/BosConfig> file; use the B<bos
  41 getrestart> command to display the time and the B<bos setrestart> time to
  42 set it.
  43
  44 =head1 OPTIONS
  45
  46 =over 4
  47
  48 =item B<-server> <I<machine name>>
  49
  50 Indicates the binary distribution machine on which to install the new
  51 binaries. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either
  52 fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see L<bos(8)>.
  53
  54 If the machine is not a binary distribution machine and is running an
  55 C<upclientbin> process, then the files are overwritten the next time the
  56 C<upclientbin> process fetches the corresponding file from the
  57 distribution machine (by default within five minutes).
  58
  59 =item B<-file> <I<files to install>>+
  60
  61 Specifies the complete pathname of each binary file to copy into the
  62 destination directory. Each source directory can be on the local disk or
  63 in AFS, in which case the issuer of the B<bos install> command must have
  64 the necessary AFS access rights and the local machine must run the Cache
  65 Manager. For the BOS Server to create C<.BAK> and C<.OLD> versions, the
  66 last element in the pathname (the filename) must match the name of a file
  67 in the destination directory.  L<bos_create(8)> lists the standard binary
  68 file names.
  69
  70 =item B<-dir> <I<destination dir>>
  71
  72 Provides the complete pathname of the local disk directory in which to
  73 install binary files. It is necessary only if the destination directory
  74 is not F</usr/afs/bin>.
  75
  76 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
  77
  78 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
  79 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<bos(8)>.
  80
  81 =item B<-noauth>
  82
  83 Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
  84 combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
  85 L<bos(8)>.
  86
  87 =item B<-localauth>
  88
  89 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
  90 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> or F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFileExt> file.
  91 The B<bos> command interpreter presents the
  92 ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this
  93 flag with the B<-cell> or B<-noauth> options. For more details, see
  94 L<bos(8)>.
  95
  96 =item B<-help>
  97
  98 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
  99 ignored.

 103 =head1 EXAMPLES
 104
 105 The following command copies the file
 106 F</afs/example.com/rs_aix42/usr/afs/bin/vlserver> to the file
 107 F</usr/afs/bin/vlserver> on the machine C<fs3.example.com>, which is the
 108 binary distribution machine for server machines running AIX 4.2 in the
 109 C<example.com> cell. The current version of the F</usr/afs/bin/vlserver> file
 110 is moved to F</usr/afs/bin/vlserver.BAK>.
 111
 112    % bos install -server fs3.example.com \
 113                  -file /afs/example.com/rs_aix42/usr/afs/bin/vlserver
 114
 115 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
 116
 117 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
 118 machine named by the B<-server> argument, or must be logged onto a server
 119 machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is
 120 included.
 121
 122 The B<bos install> command cannot be run against servers which are in
 123 restricted mode.
