Stopping and Restarting the License Daemons

Under the following circumstances, you must stop and restart the license daemons:

• If you edit the daemon_options file

• If you move your license server from one machine to another

Using lmdown to Stop the License Daemons

When you run the lmdown command, the following events occur:

1. A message is sent to the license daemon requesting that it shut down.

2. The license daemons complete the current log file message and close the file.

3. The license daemons remove all the licenses that have been given out. The next time a user calls a program and the client server goes to verify the license, the license will be invalid.

   Note -

   If you have a redundant server configuration, using the lmdown utility takes down all of the redundant servers.

See the lmdown man page for usage and options.

Restarting the License Daemons

To restart the license daemon, type the following at the command line:

# /etc/rc2.d/S85lmgrd

The output of this command is directed to the /usr/tmp/license_log file. See also the lmgrd.ste man page.

If you use a redundant license server configuration, restart the license daemon on each server.
