Chapter 12: Using License Administration ToolsCommand-Line UtilitieslmrereadThe following description refers to the operation of lmreread with lmgrd.Note • lmadmin includes functionality to read license files and start vendor daemons instead of using lmreread.The lmreread utility causes the license server manager to reread the license file and start any new vendordaemons that have been added. In addition, all currently running vendor daemons are signaled to reread thelicense file and their options files for changes. If report logging is enabled, any report log data still in the vendordaemon’s internal data buffer is flushed. lmreread recognizes changes to system host names, but cannot be usedto change server TCP/IP port numbers.If the optional vendor daemon name is specified, only the named daemon rereads the license file and its optionsfile (in this case, lmgrd does not reread the license file).Usagelmreread [-c license_file_list] [-vendor vendor] [-all]where:Table 12-11 • lmreread Argument UsageArgumentDescription-c license_file_list Use the specified license files.-vendor vendor-allOnly the vendor daemon, specified by the vendor option, rereads the license fileand the options file.
