       The bosdelete command removes the /etc/openafs/BosConfig entry for each process indicated by the
       -instance argument, on the server machine named by the -server argument.

       Before issuing this command, issue the bos stop command to stop the process and set its status flag in
       the BosConfig file to "NotRun". The bosdelete command fails with an error message if a process's status
       flag is "Run".

       The  following  command removes the buserver, kaserver, ptserver, and vlserver entries from the BosConfig
       file on "db3.example.com", a database server machine being decommissioned.

          % bos delete -server db3.example.com \
              -instance buserver kaserver ptserver vlserver

       bos_delete - Deletes a server process from the BosConfig file

-server <machinename>
           Indicates   the   server   machine   on   which   to   delete  the  server  process  entry  from  the
           /etc/openafs/BosConfig file. Identify the machine by IP address  or  its  host  name  (either  fully-
           qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).

       -instance <serverprocessname>+
           Names  each  process  to  delete. Use the name assigned with the -instance argument to the boscreate
           command; process names appear in the output of the bosstatus command.

       -cell <cellname>
           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   or
           /etc/openafs/server/KeyFileExt  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.

       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.

       The bosdelete command cannot be run against servers which are in restricted mode.
