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.
