The BOS Overseer Service plays a number of roles:

1. It is a cross-platform remote management interface for the
   creating, deleting, starting, and stopping b-node services
   There are four types of bnodes:

   a. simple - any single process service for example ptserver,
      vlserver, buserver, one of the MIT/Heimdal kerberos services,
      etc.  Simple services do not have any special interaction
      with bosserver.

   b. cron - like a simple bnode but which can be executed once
      at start (now), daily, or weekly

   c. fs - a bnode which defines the process group for
      the legacy fileserver.  The bosserver has special knowledge
      related to process restart in case of failure and integration
      with the "bos salvage" command.

   d. dafs - a bnode which defines the process group for the
      demand attach fileserver.  The bosserver has special knowledge
      related to process restart in case of failure and integration
      with the "bos salvage" command.

2. The bosserver is responsible for managing the content of many
   configuration files including BosConfig, UserList, and
   the server version of the CellServDB file.  The KeyFile can
   also be updated via bosserver.  The files other than BosConfig
   are shared with the AFS services

3. The bosserver is used to request manual salvages of individual
   volumes or whole partitions.  When the "fs" bnode is in use,
   the bnode will be stopped and started while the salvage takes
   place.  With the "dafs" bnode, single volume salvages do not
   require the "dafs" bnode to be halted but full partition
   salvages do.

4. Remote fetching of log files.

5. Remote execution of arbitrary commands.

Most but not all of these functions could be performed with other tools.
 Managing the special inter-dependencies of the "fs" and "dafs" bnode
processes and salvaging are the two exceptions.
