lmswitch
The lmswitch utility switches the debug log file written by a particular vendor daemon by
closing the existing debug log for that vendor daemon and starting a new debug log for that
vendor daemon with a new file name. It also starts a new debug log file written by that vendor
daemon if one does not already exist.
Usage is:
lmswitch [-c license_file_list] vendor new_debug_log
where:
By default, debug log output from
lmgrd and all vendor daemons started by that lmgrd get
written into the same debug file.

different vendors and control the size of their debug log file.
