Manual Start

To start lmgrd from the command line

Start lmgrd from the UNIX command line using the following syntax:

lmgrd -c license_file_list -L [+]debug_log_path

where

•

license_file_list is one or more of the following:

•

the full path to a single license file

•

a directory, where all files named *.lic in that directory are used

If the license_file_list value contains more than one license file or directory, they must be separated by colons.

•

debug_log_path is the full path to the debug log file.

Prepending debug_log_path with the + character appends logging entries.

Start lmgrd by a user other than root since processes started by root can introduce security risks. If lmgrd must be started by the root user, use the su command to run lmgrd as a non-privileged user:

su username -c "lmgrd -c license_file_list -l debug_log_path"

where username is a non-privileged user. You must ensure that the vendor daemons listed in the license file have execute permissions for username. The paths to all the vendor daemons in the license file are listed on each VENDOR line.
