SYNOPSIS
i4lmd [ -s[ecure]] [
-l[ogname]] [-v[erbose]] [-z
[debugging]] [-n[o] event_types]
[

DESCRIPTION
The i4lmd command starts a license server on the local node. There is no graphic interface for this com-
mand, the shell script i4config is used to configure the license server. License servers should not be
run manually.
A printable on-line administration guide is also available. (See the FILES section below.)
NOTE: Please refer to the release notes and
i4config for information on how to automate the start-up
of
i4lmd on your specific platform.
Options
-s Secure mode. A LicensePower/iFOR license server running in secure mode will only permit
modifications to its database from tools run locally (on the same node). Tools running on
remote node are not permitted to modify the database.
-l log_name Redirects license server log entries to a file and location other than the default
(/opt/ifor/ls/conf/logdb*
). The alternate log file specification (filename) must
be fully qualified starting from the root directory (/).
-v verbose The verbose flag should only be used by administrators the event of a server failure. This
command allows the administrator to review license calls and activity from the client pro-
grams. The -v option is used in conjunction with -z.
-z debugging The debugging flag allows the administrator to review all rpc communication between the
clients and the server. The -z option is used in conjunction with -v.
-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. Follow-
ing 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.
-c This option will delete all transactions records from the database and subsequently that
cache during server startup.
EXAMPLES
Start a license server; do not log checkin, vendor, product, timeout, or message events:
