FW: Correct Syntax for check_flexlm (fwd)

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Subhendu,

What version of Flexlm is this script written for? The version that is currently
being used on the license server is 8.0.

Cliff

The logic is the same from the script that you submitted.  I moved a 
couple of vars around, updated for ePN, and got the setting for lmstat 
from the initial configure process. Also the oputput now prints the list 
of servers up and down. 

Going over the script reminded me that it doesn't check for vendor daemon 
status, just flexlm. Perhaps we can tackle this after 1.3 is released.

The script uses the
