Most vos
commands accept the following
general arguments:
-cell
cellname] Specifies which AFS cell to use, if the
default cell is not to be used.
[-noauth
] Specifies that
vos
should not try to authenticate the connection to
the server. This may be useful with shell scripts, or if there is a problem
with the AFS cell. Note that the server will reject many commands if
-noauth
is specified.
[-localauth
] Create a ticket using the AFS
server key, that is, you don't need a token. This will generally only work
on AFS servers, and is very useful for performing automatic tasks.
