netlsd(1M)

NAME

netlsd − Starts the license server

SYNOPSIS

netlsd [[ -no event_list | -o | -v | -z ]]

DESCRIPTION

The netlsd command starts a license server on the local node. There is no graphic interface for this command.

OPTIONS

-no Turns off logging of the events specified in event_list. Any combination of events is valid, but items in the list of events must not be separated by spaces or other characters. Following are the event types that you may specify:

l License-grant and license-release events.

c License checkin events. (Licensed products usually check in with the license server at regular intervals while a user is using the product).

w Waiting events: these include wait events (a user was waiting for a license), waitgrant events (a user was waiting for and then was granted a license), and waitremove events (a user was waiting for a license and then asked to be removed from the queues before a license was granted).

v Vendor events: a vendor was added, renamed or deleted.

p Product events: a product was added, renamed, or deleted.

e Error events.

t License timeout events. (When a licensed product fails to check in with the license server, it may stop running after it times out." The vendor of the product sets the timeout interval, which is how long a product may run after it has lost contact with the license server).

m Message events.

s License server start/stop events.

-o Overrides the in-use flag at a license server database. While a license server is running, its database is flagged as being in use to prevent more than one server from running on the same node. When a license server stops running, the flag is reset. However, if a license server exits abnormally, the flag may not be reset, which prevents the server from restarting. The -o option overrides an inuse flag, allowing the server to be restarted. Do not use -o unless you are sure the license server isn’t running.

-v NetLS library verbose mode.

-z Debugging flag. (Prints RPC debugging information).

EXAMPLES

Start a license server; do not log checkin, vendor, product, timeout, or message events:

netlsd -no cvptm

Start a license server, overriding the inuse flag:

netlsd -o
