NAME
     lmdown - graceful shutdown of all license daemons

SYNOPSIS
     lmdown [ -c license_file ] [ -q ]

DESCRIPTION
     lmdown sends a message to every license daemon asking it to shut down.
     The license damons write out their last messages to the log file, close
     the file, and exit.  All licenses which have been given out by those
     daemons will rescinded, so that the next time a client program goes to
     verify his license, it will not be valid.  NOTE: In FLEXlm v2.4 and
     later, lmdown is either a link or a copy of the lmutil program.  (On VMS,
     lmdown is still a separate program).

OPTIONS
     -c license_file
               Use the specified license_file.  If this switch is not
               specified, lmdown looks for the environment variable
               LM_LICENSE_FILE.  If that environment variable is not set,
               lmdown looks for the file
               /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.

     -q        Quiet mode.  If this switch is not specified, lmdown asks for
               confirmation before asking the license daemons to shut down.
               If this switch is specified, lmdown will not ask for
               confirmation.
