NAME

rpc.netlicd − SunNet License server process

SYNOPSIS

rpc.netlicd [path]

DESCRIPTION

rpc.netlicd, the SunNet License service daemon, is normally started by inetd(8C).  The SunNet License service provides concurrent usage licensing capabilities to a network. A lock file is used to ensure that only one server is running on a machine. 

The optional argument, path, is the path to the database directory. The current working directory is the default. The server will not run if the database is located on a remotely mounted filesystem. 

The server is typically terminated using the nladmin program. It can also be be shutdown by sending the SIGTERM signal.
