lmswitch(1)lmswitch(1)NAMElmswitch - switch vendor daemon logs
SYNOPSISlmswitch [ -c license_file_list ] [ -v ] [ -verbose ] ...
lmswitch vendor new_debug_log
DESCRIPTIONlmswitch 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
will also start a new debug log file written by that vendor daemon if one
does not already exist. Requires a v8.0+ vendor daemon.
By default, debug log output from lmgrd and all vendor daemons started by
that lmgrd get written into the same debug file. lmswitch lets companies
keep separate log files for different vendors and control the size of
their debug log file.
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. The effect of lmswitch continues only until the vendor
daemon is shut down or (as of v8.0) its options file is reread via
lmreread. When the vendor daemon is restarted or its options file is
reread, it will look 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.
OPTIONS-v Prints the FlexLM version of the utility.
-verbose Prints longer description for all errors found. The output from
the utilities may be harder to read with this option, but is
useful for diagnostics. (v6.0+ only)
-c license_file_list
Use the specified license_file(s). If this switch is not
specified, lmswitch looks for the environment variable
LM_LICENSE_FILE. If that environment variable is not set,
lmswitch looks for the file
/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.
NOTES
IRIX systems typically install licenses in /var/flexlm/license.dat, not
in /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.
