NETLSD Domain/OS NETLSD
NAME
netlsd - Starts the license server
SYNOPSIS
/etc/netls/netlsd [[ -no event_list | -o | -v | -z ]]
DESCRIPTION
The netlsd command starts a license server on the local node. There is no
graphic interface for this command.
You can also have the license server invoked automatically at boot time
by creating an empty file named /etc/daemons/netlsd, but in this case you
can't specify any netlsd options.
OPTIONS
-no Turns off logging of the events specified in event_list. Any
combination of events is valid, but items in the list of events must
not be separated by spaces or other characters. Following are the
event types that you may specify:
l License-grant and license-release events.
c License checkin events. (Licensed products usually check in
with the license server at regular intervals while a user is
using the product).
w Waiting events: these include wait events (a user was waiting
for a license), waitgrant events (a user was waiting for and
then was granted a license), and waitremove events (a user was
waiting for a license and then asked to be removed from the
queues before a license was granted).
v Vendor events: a vendor was added, renamed or deleted.
p Product events: a product was added, renamed, or deleted.
e Error events.
t License timeout events. (When a licensed product fails to check
in with the license server, it may stop running after it times
out." The vendor of the product sets the timeout interval,
which is how long a product may run after it has lost contact
with the license server).
m Message events.
s License server start/stop events.
-o Overrides the in-use flag at a license server database. While a
license server is running, its database is flagged as being in use
to prevent more than one server from running on the same node. When
a license server stops running, the flag is reset. However, if a
license server exits abnormally, the flag may not be reset, which
prevents the server from restarting. The -o option overrides an
inuse flag, allowing the server to be restarted. Do not use -o
unless you are sure the license server isn't running.
-v NetLS library verbose mode.
-z Debugging flag. (Prints RPC debugging information).
EXAMPLES
Start a license server; do not log checkin, vendor, product, timeout, or
message events:
netlsd -no cvptm
Start a license server, overriding the inuse flag:
netlsd -o
