NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     lmdown - graceful shutdown	of all license daemons

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     lmdown [ -c license_file ]	[ -q ]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     lmdown sends a message to every license daemon asking it to shut down.
     The license damons	write out their	last messages to the log file, close
     the file, and exit.  All licenses which have been given out by those
     daemons will rescinded, so	that the next time a client program goes to
     verify his	license, it will not be	valid.	NOTE: In FLEXlm	v2.4 and
     later, lmdown is either a link or a copy of the lmutil program.  (On VMS,
     lmdown is still a separate	program).

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

     -c	license_file
	       Use the specified license_file.	If this	switch is not
	       specified, lmdown looks for the environment variable
	       LM_LICENSE_FILE.	 If that environment variable is not set,
	       lmdown looks for	the file
	       /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.

     -q	       Quiet mode.  If this switch is not specified, lmdown asks for
	       confirmation before asking the license daemons to shut down.
	       If this switch is specified, lmdown will	not ask	for
	       confirmation.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     IRIX systems typically install licenses in	/var/flexlm/license.dat, not
     in	/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.
