The bos prune command removes files from the local disk of the server
machine named by the -server argument, as specified by one or more of
the following flags provided on the command line:
•
The -bak flag removes all files from the /usr/lib/openafs directory that
have a ".BAK" extension.
•
The -old flag removes all files from the /usr/lib/openafs directory that
have a ".OLD" extension.
•
The -core flag removes all files from the /var/log/openafs directory
that have a "core." prefix.
•
The -all flag removes all three types of files at once.
(If none of these flags are included, the command appears to succeed, but
removes no files at all.)
To display the timestamp on the current, ".BAK", and ".OLD" versions of
one or more files, use the bos getdate command.
OPTIONS
-server <machine name>
Indicates the server machine from which to remove files. Identify the
machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or
abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).
-bak
Removes all files from the /usr/lib/openafs directory that have a ".BAK"
extension. Do not combine this flag and the -all flag.
-old
Removes all files from the /usr/lib/openafs directory that have a ".OLD"
extension. Do not combine this flag and the -all flag.
-core
Removes all files from the /var/log/openafs directory that have a "core."
prefix. Do not combine this flag and the -all flag.
-all
Combines the effect of the -bak, -old, and -core flags. Do not
combine this flag with any of those three.
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not
combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see
bos(8).
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
/etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The bos command interpreter presents the
ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this
flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see
bos(8).
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
ignored.
EXAMPLES
The following example removes all files from the /usr/lib/openafs directory
on the machine "fs3.abc.com" that have a ".BAK" or ".OLD" extension.
% bos prune -server fs3.abc.com -bak -old
The following example removes all files from the /usr/lib/openafs directory
on the machine "db2.abc.com" that have a ".BAK" or ".OLD" extension,
and all files from the /var/log/openafs directory that have a "core."
prefix.
% bos prune -server db2.abc.com -all
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the
machine named by the -server argument, or must be logged onto a server
machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is
included.
