Is there a way to restart the bosserver process WITHOUT first

I really don't like to wait for a salvage or have to vos move
everything to another server.
You shouldn't have to salvage if you do a clean restart with bos
restart -bosserver. The only delay is breaking callbacks and
attaching volumes. (Which admittedly isn't always fast.)
And, since bosserver died on the machine where I want to restart
it, I can't give a bos restart (or am I missing something and bos restart
-bossserver doesn't require a currently running bosserver?) Is there a
non-bosserver way to correctly shutdown the fileserver? Some signal that
can be sent or something?
Yes. If you send the fileserver SIGQUIT, it will shut down cleanly.
Other AFS server processes should be sent SIGTERM.
How? Just run the parm command(s) listed in the BosConfig file?
Yes. Other than its handling of the interaction between the fileserver,
volserver, and salvager, there's nothing magical about the bosserver. You
can run the various server processes manually, if you want.
