NAME

AFS::Command::BOS - OO API to the AFS bos command

SYNOPSIS

use AFS::Command::BOS;

my $bos = AFS::Command::BOS->new();

my $bos = AFS::Command::BOS->new
  (
   command			=> $path_to_your_bos_binary,
  );

my $bos = AFS::Command::BOS->new
  (
   localauth		=> 1,
  );

DESCRIPTION

This module implements an OO API wrapper around the AFS 'bos' command. The supported methods depend on the version of the bos binary used, and are determined automagically.

METHODS -- Inherited

All of the following methods are inherited from the AFS::Command::Base class. See that documentation for details.

METHODS (with complex return values)

getdate

Arguments

The bos help string is:

    bos getdate: get dates for programs
    Usage: bos getdate -server <machine name> -file <files to check>+ [-dir <destination dir>]
		       [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth]

The corresponding method invocation looks like:

my $result = $bos->getdate
  (
   # Required arguments
   server			=> $server,
   file			=> $file, # OR [ $file1, $file2, ... ]
   # Optional arguments
   dir			=> $dir,
   cell			=> $cell,
   noauth			=> 1,
   localauth		=> 1,
  );
Return Values

This method returns an AFS::Object::BosServer object, which contains one or more generic AFS::Object, one for each file specified in the arguments.

    my $result = $bos->getdate
      (
       file				=> [ 'bosserver', 'vlserver', 'ptserver' ],
       cell				=> $cell,
      ) || die $bos->errors();

    foreach my $fileobj ( $result->getFiles() ) {
	my ($file,$date) = ($fileobj->file(),$fileobj->date());
	print "File $file has date $date\n";
    }

Each of these objects has the following attributes and methods:

AFS::Object::BosServer

This object is nothing more than a container for the generic objects for each file. It has several methods for extracting the file objects:

Methods			Returns
-------			-------
getFileNames()		a list of filenames
getFiles()			a list of AFS::Object objects
getFile($filename)		the AFS::Object object for $filename

AFS::Object

The following attributes should always be present:

Attributes			Values
----------			------
file			fully qualified pathname to the file
date			last modified timestamp on the file

The following attributes may be present, if there are .BAK or .OLD versions of the file.

Attributes			Values
----------			------
bak				last modified timestamp on the .BAK file
old				last modified timestamp on the .OLD file

getlog

Arguments

The bos help string is:

    bos getlog: examine log file
    Usage: bos getlog -server <machine name> -file <log file to examine>
		      [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth]

The corresponding method invocation looks like:

my $result = $bos->getlog
  (
   # Required arguments
   server			=> $server,
   file			=> $file,
   # Optional arguments
   cell			=> $cell,
   noauth			=> 1,
   localauth		=> 1,
   # Enhanced arguments
   redirect			=> $redirect,
  );

The 'redirect' argument is the name of a file to "redirect" the log file to. By default, 'bos getlog' dumps the contents of the requested file to stdout, which is not what you normally want in an application. The value of this argument is passed directly to IO::File->open().

If this argument is not specified, then the contents of the logfile are stashed in an attribute of the returned object.

Return Values

This method returns an AFS::Object::BosServer object, which contains one attribute.

    my $result = $bos->getlog
      (
       server			=> $server,
       file			=> "/usr/afs/logs/VolserLog",
       redirect			=> "/var/tmp/VolserLog.$$",
      ) || die $bos->errors();

    my $logfile = IO::File->new("</var/tmp/VolserLog.$$") ||
      die "Unable to open logfile: $ERRNO\n";

    while ( defined($_ = $logfile->getline()) ) {
	....
    }

    # Alternately, the memory pig way:

    my $result = $bos->getlog
      (
       server			=> $server,
       file			=> "/usr/afs/logs/VolserLog",
      );

    foreach ( split(/\n+/,$result->log()) ) {
	....
    }

The object has the following attribute:

AFS::Object::BosServer

Attributes			Values
----------			------
log				Contents of the logfile, or the redirect pathname

If redirect was given, then this attribute is simply same pathname. If redirect was not given, then the value of this attribute is the contents of the requested logfile, as a single (potentially huge) string.

NOTE: Since this method is usually invoked to retrieve one of the AFS logfiles, which can be enormous on heavily loaded servers that have not been restarted in a while, use of the redirect option is strongly encouraged. If not used, the memory allocated to store the logfile may be prohibitively large. Developer beware.

getrestart

Arguments

The bos help string is:

    bos getrestart: get restart times
    Usage: bos getrestart -server <machine name> [-cell <cell name>]
			  [-noauth] [-localauth]
