LMBOOT(1L)

NAME
lmboot - script file for starting the FLEXlm License Manager at boot time MATLAB

SYNOPSIS
lmboot    [-r matlabdir]
        [[-s] | [[-c licensefile] [-d] [-l logfile]
        [-m marker]]]

DESCRIPTION
MATLAB uses a network-based license manager called FLEXlm to manage licensing on a per-computer or per-user basis. lmsboot attempts to start the license manager in a way that allows lmdown to bring down the license manager reliably. It allows for inclusion of vendor daemons other than MATLAB.

Note that to include vendor daemons other than MATLAB requires you to modify the lmboot.etc script. To do this, locate the string "ADD OTHER DAEMONS HERE". For more information, see the file, matlab/etc/README.boot and the file matlab/etc/lmboot.etc.

OPTIONS

-r matlabdir
    The MATLAB root directory path. You should specify this option when the MATLAB root is an automounted file system.

-s  Create only a symbolic link:
    /etc/lmboot -> matlab/etc/lmboot.
    Only the -r option can be used with this option.

-c licensefile
    The path to the license file. By default, lmstart uses matlab/etc/license.dat.

-l logfile
    The path to the log file. By default, lmboot uses /usr/adm/license.log4 (except on Solaris 2, where /usr/sadm/license.log4 is used).

-m marker
    The marker string used to build the link names. The marker string should contain the string "lm" so you can grep the output of the "ps" (process status) command using "lm" as the search string. The default string is "lm_TMW4".

FILES
All files related to the FLEXlm license manager are found in the matlab/etc directory, whose precise location is determined during the MATLAB installation procedure.
