lmgrd

Starts up the license manager daemon

lmgrd [–2] [–b] [–c license_file] [–d] [–l logfile] [–p] [–s interval] [–t timeout]

–2	Specify V2 startup arguments, in contrast to the –bswitch. This switch is required
	if you intend to use the –pswitch (available in lmgrd v2.4 and later).
–b	Specify backward compatibility mode. Use this switch if you are running a v2.1 or
	later lmgrd with a v1.5 or earlier vendor daemon. This is the default switch in
	FLEXlm v2.4 and later.
–clicense_file	Use the specified license_file. If this switch is not specified, lmgrd looks for the
	environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE. If the environment variable is not set,
	lmgrd looks for the file /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.
–d	Specify that hostnames which are read from the license file should have the local
	domain name appended to them before sending to a client. Useful when clients are
	accessing licenses from another domain. (Available in lmgrd v2.4 and later.)
–llogfile	Specify the output log file to use.
–p	Specify that the lmdown and lmremove utilities can only be run by a license
	administrator. A license administrator is a member of the lmadmin group, or, if the
	lmadmin group does not exist, a member of group 0. (This is available in lmgrd
	v2.4 and later.)
–sinterval	Specify the logfile timestamp interval, in minutes. Default is 360 minutes.
–ttimeout	Specify the timeout interval, in seconds, during which daemons must complete
	their connections to each other. Default value is 10 seconds. A larger value might
	be preferable if the daemons are being run on busy systems or a very heavily
	loaded network.
