FLEXlm Utilities

lmswitchr

Switches the FLEXadmin log file (REPORTLOG) for the specified feature

lmswitchr [feature] [new-file]

feature	Any feature this daemon supports.
new-file	New file pathname.

Description	The FLEXlm daemons create an ASCII log file on stdout. There are several pro-
	cesses in a parent-child hierarchy which share the same file pointer, so this log file
	cannot be changed after the vendor daemons have been started, since each process
	has a copy of the current offset, etc.
	There is another way to switch the log file output data; however, this involves
	piping the stdout of lmgrd to a shell script that appends a file for each line.
	Instead of the “normal” startup: % lmgrd > LOG
	Start lmgrd this way:
	% lmgrd –z sh –c ’while read line; do echo “$line” >> LOG;
	done’
	For more information on the log file, refer to page 60 for a description of
	REPORTLOG.
