=head1 DESCRIPTION

The C<bos delete> command removes the B</usr/afs/local/BosConfig> entry for
each process indicated by the B<-instance> argument, on the server
machine named by the B<-server> argument.

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

=item B<-server> I<machine name>

Indicates the server machine on which to delete the server
process entry from the B</usr/afs/local/BosConfig> file. Identify

the introductory reference page for the C<bos> command suite.

=item B<-instance> I<server process name> [I<server process name> ...]

=item B<-cell> I<cell name>

more details, see the introductory L<bos(1)> reference page.
