LMDOWN(1L)

NAME
lmdown - kills the FLEXlm license daemons used by MATLAB

SYNOPSIS
lmdown    [-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. lmdown shuts down the MATLAB FLEXlm License Manager in a graceful manner.

Note that this is The MathWorks' own version of the lmdown utility, which is different from the FLEXlm version. To use this utility, you must be logged on to the server host specified in the license file. You must be either the user who started the license manager or root to be able to shut it down.

Options

-c licensefile
    The path to the license file. By default, lmdown 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.
