lmdown
The lmdown utility allows for the graceful shutdown of selected license daemons on all systems.
Usage
lmdown -c license_file_list [-vendor vendor_daemon] [-q] [-all] [-force]
where:
|
Argument |
Description |
|
-c license_file_list |
Use the specified license files. Note that specifying -c license_file_list is always recommended with lmdown. |
|
-vendor vendor_daemon |
Shut down only this vendor daemon. The license server continues running. |
|
-q |
Don’t prompt. Otherwise, lmdown provides a confirmation prompt. |
|
-all |
If multiple servers are specified, automatically shuts down all of them. -q is implied with -all. |
|
-force |
If licenses are borrowed, lmdown runs only from the system where the license server is running, and then only if the user adds -force. |
If lmdown encounters more than one server (for example if -c specifies a directory with many *.lic files) and -all is not specified, a choice of license servers to shut down is presented.
Note:On UNIX, do not use kill -9 to shut down license servers. On Windows, if you must use the Task Manager to kill the FlexNet Licensing Service, be sure to end the lmadmin (or lmgrd) process first, then all the vendor daemon processes.
When using the lmdown utility to shut down license servers configured for three-server redundancy, there is a one-minute delay. You can protect the unauthorized execution of lmdown when you start up the license server manager.
