NAME

lmgrd.ste − flexible license manager daemon

SYNOPSIS

lmgrd.ste [ −2 ] [ −b ] [ −c license_file ] [ −d ] [ −l logfile ] [ −p ] [ −s interval ] [ −t timeout ]

DESCRIPTION

lmgrd.ste is the main daemon program for the FLEXlm distributed license management system. When invoked, it looks for a license file containing all required information about vendors and features.

OPTIONS

−2 Specifies V2 startup arguments. This is the opposite of the −b switch. Note that −2 switch is REQUIRED if you intend to use the −p switch. (Available in lmgrd.ste v2.4 and later.)

−b Specifies backward compatibility mode. Use this switch if you are running a v2.1 or later lmgrd.ste with a v1.5 or earlier vendor daemon. Note that in FLEXlm v2.4 or later the −b switch is the default.

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

−d Specifies that hostnames which are read from the license file should have the local domain name appended to them before sending to a client. This is useful when clients are accessing licenses from another domain. (Available in lmgrd.ste v2.4 and later.)

−l logfile Specifies the output log file to use.

−p Specifies 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, then a member of group 0. (Available in lmgrd.ste v2.4 and later.)

−s interval
Specifies the logfile timestamp interval, in minutes. The default is 360 minutes.

−t timeout Specifies the timeout interval, in seconds, during which daemons must complete their connections to each other. The default value is 10 seconds. A larger value may be desirable if the daemons are being run on busy systems or a very heavily loaded network.

ENVIRONMENT

If no -c option is specified, lmgrd.ste looks for the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE in order to find the license file to use. If that environment variable is not set, lmgrd.ste looks for the file /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.
