lmswitchr
FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide 89
If debug log output is not already directed to a separate file for this vendor daemon, lmswitch
tells the vendor daemon to start writing its debug log output to a file,
new_debug_log. If this
vendor daemon is already writing to its own debug log,
lmswitch tells the vendor daemon to
close its current debug log file and start writing its debug log output to
new_debug_log.
Note The effect of lmswitch continues only until the vendor daemon is shut down or its options file
is reread via
lmreread. When the vendor daemon is restarted or its options file is reread, it
looks for a DEBUGLOG line in the options file to determine whether or not to write its debug
log output into its own file and, if so, what file to write.

lmswitchr
The lmswitchr utility switches the report log file by closing the existing report log and
starting a new report log with a new file name. It also starts a new report log file if one does not
already exist.
Usage is:
lmswitchr [-c license_file_list] feature new_report_log
or with v5.0+ vendor daemon:
lmswitchr [-c license_file_list] vendor new_report_log
where:
If report logging is not enabled for the vendor daemon,
lmswitchr tells it to start writing its
report log output to
new_report_log. If report logging is already enabled for the vendor
daemon,
lmswitchr tells the vendor daemon to close its report log file and start writing its new
report log output to
new_report_log.
-c license_file_list Use the specified license file(s).
feature Any feature in this license file.
