lmgrd
Starts up the license manager daemon
lmgrd [–2] [–b] [–c
license_file
] [–d] [–l
logfile
] [–p] [–s
interval
] [–t
timeout
]
Specify V2 startup arguments, in contrast to the
–b
switch. This switch is required
if you intend to use the
–p
switch (available in
lmgrd
v2.4 and later).
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.
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
.
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.)
Specify the output log file to use.
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.)
Specify the logfile timestamp interval, in minutes. Default is 360 minutes.
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.
UNIX
lmgrd
is the main daemon program for the FLEXlm distributed license manage-
ment system. When invoked, it looks for a license file containing all required infor-
mation about vendors and features.
