FLEXlm Utilities

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.
