  20 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  21
  22 The B<bos start> command sets the status flag for each process specified
  23 by the B<-instance> argument to C<Run> in the F</usr/afs/local/BosConfig>
  24 file and in the BOS Server's memory on the server machine named by the
  25 B<-server> argument, then starts it. If the process is already running,
  26 the command's only effect is to guarantee that the status flag is C<Run>;
  27 it does not restart the process.
  28
  29 To start a process without changing its status flag in the F<BosConfig>
  30 file, use the B<bos startup> command instead.
  31
  32 =head1 OPTIONS
  33
  34 =over 4
  35
  36 =item B<-server> <I<machine name>>
  37
  38 Indicates the server machine on which to start processes. Identify the
  39 machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or
  40 abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see L<bos(8)>.
  41
  42 =item B<-instance> <I<server process name>>+
  43
  44 Names each process to start. Use the process name assigned with the
  45 B<-instance> argument to the B<bos create> command. The output from the
  46 B<bos status> command lists the names.
  47
  48 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
  49
  50 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
  51 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<bos(8)>.
  52
  53 =item B<-noauth>
  54
  55 Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
  56 combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
  57 L<bos(8)>.
  58
  59 =item B<-localauth>
  60
  61 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
  62 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> or F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFileExt> file.
  63 The B<bos> command interpreter presents the
  64 ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this
  65 flag with the B<-cell> or B<-noauth> options. For more details, see
  66 L<bos(8)>.
  67
  68 =item B<-help>
  69
  70 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
  71 ignored.

  75 =head1 EXAMPLES
  76
  77 The following command changes the status flag for the C<upclientbin> and
  78 C<upclientetc> processes to C<Run> in the F<BosConfig> file on the machine
  79 C<fs6.example.com> and starts them running.
  80
  81    % bos start -server fs6.example.com -instance upclientbin upclientetc
  82
  83 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
  84
  85 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
  86 machine named by the B<-server> argument, or must be logged onto a server
  87 machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is
  88 included.
