BOS_PRUNE(8) AFS Command Reference BOS_PRUNE(8)NAMEbos_prune - Removes obsolete files from /usr/afs/bin and /usr/afs/logs
SYNOPSIS
bos prune -server <machine name> [-bak] [-old] [-core]
[-all] [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth]
[-help]
bos p -s <machine name> [-b] [-o] [-co] [-a]
[-ce <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
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/afs/bin directory
that have a ".BAK" extension.
· The -old flag removes all files from the /usr/afs/bin directory
that have a ".OLD" extension.
· The -core flag removes all files from the /usr/afs/logs 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/afs/bin directory that have a
".BAK" extension. Do not combine this flag and the -all flag.
-old
Removes all files from the /usr/afs/bin directory that have a
".OLD" extension. Do not combine this flag and the -all flag.
-core
Removes all files from the /usr/afs/logs 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
/usr/afs/etc/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/afs/bin 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/afs/bin directory
on the machine "db2.abc.com" that have a ".BAK" or ".OLD" extension,
and all files from the /usr/afs/logs directory that have a "core."
prefix.
% bos prune -server db2.abc.com -all
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /usr/afs/etc/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.
The bos prune command cannot be run against servers which are in
restricted mode.
