lmreread
Tells the license daemon to reread the license file
lmreread [–c
license_file
]
Use the specified license file. If this switch is not specified,
lmreread
looks for
the environment variable
LM_LICENSE_FILE
. If the environment variable is not
set, it looks for the file
/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat
.
lmreread
allows the system administrator to tell the license daemon to reread the
license file. This can be useful if the data in the license file has changed; the new
data can be loaded into the license daemon without shutting down and restarting it.
lmreread
uses the license file from the command line (or the default file, if none
specified) only to find the license daemon to send it the command to reread the
license file. The license daemon always rereads the original file that it loaded. If
you need to change the path to the license file, then you must shut down the
daemon and restart it with that new license file path.
You cannot use
lmreread
if the
SERVER
node names or port numbers have been
changed in the license file. In this case, you must shut down the daemon and restart
it in order for those changes to take effect.
lmreread
does not change any option information specified in an options file. If
the new license file specifies a different options file, that information is ignored. If
you need to reread the options file, you must shut down the daemon and restart it.
