lmreread
The following description refers to the operation of lmreread with lmgrd.
Note:lmadmin includes functionality to read license files and start vendor daemons instead of using lmreread.
The lmreread utility causes the license server manager to reread the license file and start any new vendor daemons that have been added. In addition, all currently running vendor daemons are signaled to reread the license file and their options files for changes. If report logging is enabled, any report log data still in the vendor daemon’s internal data buffer is flushed. lmreread recognizes changes to system host names, but cannot be used to change server TCP/IP port numbers.
If the optional vendor daemon name is specified, only the named daemon rereads the license file and its options file (in this case, lmgrd does not reread the license file).
Usage
lmreread [-c license_file_list] [-vendor vendor] [-all]
where:
|
Argument |
Description |
|
-c license_file_list |
Use the specified license files. |
|
-vendor vendor |
Only the vendor daemon, specified by the vendor option, rereads the license file and the options file. Additionally, lmgrd restarts vendor if necessary. |
|
-all |
If more than one lmgrd is specified, instructs all instances of lmgrd to reread. |
Note:If you use the -c license_file_list option, the license files specified are read by lmreread, not by lmgrd; lmgrd rereads the file it read originally.
You can protect the unauthorized execution of lmreread when you start up the license server manager, lmgrd.
Note:Ability for vendor daemon to participate in rereading of its option file introduced in version 8.0 vendor daemon
