NAME
     lmgrd - flexible license manager daemon

SYNOPSIS
     lmgrd [ -2 ] [ -b ] [ -c license_file ] [ -l logfile ] [ -p ] [ -s
     interval ] [ -t timeout ]

DESCRIPTION
     lmgrd is the main daemon program for the FLEXlm distributed license
     management system.	 When invoked, it looks for a license file containing
     all required information about vendors and features.

OPTIONS
     -2	       Specifies V2 startup arguments.	This is the opposite of the -b
	       switch.	Note that -2 switch is REQUIRED if you intend to use
	       the -p switch.  (Available in lmgrd v2.4 and later.)

     -b	       Specifies backward compatibility mode.  Use this switch if you
	       are running a v2.1 or later lmgrd with a v1.5 or earlier vendor
	       daemon.	Note that in FLEXlm v2.4 or later the -b switch is the
	       default.

     -c license_file
	       Use the specified license_file.	If this switch is not
	       specified, lmgrd looks for the environment variable
	       LM_LICENSE_FILE.	 If that environment variable is not set,
	       lmgrd looks for the file
	       /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.

     -l logfile
	       Specifies the output log file to use.

     -p	       Specifies that the lmdown and lmremove utilities can only be
	       run by a "license administrator". A "license administrator" is
	       a member of the lmadmin group, or, if the lmadmin group does
	       not exist, then a member of group 0.  (Available in lmgrd v2.4
	       and later.)

     -s interval
	       Specifies the logfile timestamp interval, in minutes.  The
	       default is 360 minutes.

     -t timeout
	       Specifies the timeout interval, in seconds, during which
	       daemons must complete their connections to each other.  The
	       default value is 10 seconds.  A larger value may be desirable
	       if the daemons are being run on busy systems or a very heavily
	       loaded network.

ENVIRONMENT
     If no -c option is specified, lmgrd looks for the environment variable
     LM_LICENSE_FILE in order to find the license file to use.	If that
     environment variable is not set, lmgrd 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.
