Gives these things a try.

1. run the lmstat as defined in your utils.pm file or check_flexlm and see what the
output is.

2. It should match the output which I had in some of the comments in the code I submitted.

3. Feel free to send a copy of the license file to me,  you can delete everything except the
SERVER, DAEMON, and 1 or 2 features.  I don't need to know everything you are running if that
is a problem.

4. The platform and perl version may be of some help as well.

I have perl -version : 5.005_03 built for Sun Solaris.

Solaris OS version is 2.8

You are correct.  I just didn't look far enough past the comments.  It appears I'm
also out of sync wrt the version.  I had to hack my utils.pm to get the version you 
have to work.  So which version should I use to get with the program?
(I can convert the backup Nagios server to the new release and test from there. )

After hacking my utils.pm,  I get the output of License Servers running: houuam,houual,houuan"
                                                |flexlm:up:3down:0

when I run the script by hand.  I assume this is valid.

The hack was to add a line: $PATH_TO_LMSTAT = "/usr/local/flexlm/daemons/lmstat" ;
after the line $TIMEOUT = 15;

I agree, flexlm can be running , while the vendor daemons are dead.  This has happened.
At least at Marathon, we could be more proactive in keeping our software going.
