lsmon - Monitor License Server Transactions

Format

lsmon [ Poll-interval_in_seconds ] [ Server-host ]

Platform

Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000, UNIX.

Who/Where

Run from the operating system command prompt by an administrative or appli-

cation user on a stand-alone, client, or license server computer.

Options

One of the following options may be supplied:

Description

lsmon retrieves information about all features currently licensed by the

SentinelLM license server and clients using those features. If Server-host is

omitted, lsmon will attempt to talk to the SentinelLM license server on the com-

puter indicated in the LSHOST environment variable or in the LSHOST (or

lshost) file. If the variable or the file does not exist, then it will attempt to contact

a license server using the broadcast mechanism. If lsmon fails to find a

SentinelLM license server, it will display an error message and exit.

On UNIX computers, you can use Poll-interval-in-seconds to specify that lsmon

should keep monitoring and reporting usage activity instead of displaying infor-

mation once and stopping. If specified, lsmon will wait for that many seconds

between re-polls of the license server. lsmon monitors all licensed applications

supported by a license server. If the license server supports protected applica-

tions from multiple vendors, then all licenses for all vendors will be displayed.

See below for a sample display.
