LMSTART(1L)

NAME
lmstart - starts the FLEXlm license daemons used by MATLAB

SYNOPSIS
lmstart    [-r matlabdir] [-c licensefile]
    [-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. lmstart shuts down any currently running license daemons using lmdown and starts (or restarts) the license manager and vendor daemons using lmboot.

Options

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

-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, lmstart 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 (used by lmdown and lmboot). 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.
