If you want to check on the health of AFS, you would be better served by
running some key debugging commands and checking the output.

to check that a client is working, do the following:
rxdebug -version -port 7001 hostname.example.com

To check that a fileserver is responding, run:
rxdebug -version server.example.com

you can also use the "bos status" command to see if the various AFS
processes are running.

In addition, these might be helpful:
