• expired—License expiration date reached
Note appstart and appstop may generate a lot of network traffic.
An expired alert will occur when either condition occurs:
• An expired license is added to the license server and the server does not
already have an unexpired license for the same feature.
• license expires due to passage of time.
reporting-mechanism can be:
• script—The script given after SCRIPT= will be invoked
• email—E-mail will be sent to recipients given after EMAIL=
Line continuation is not supported, so all e-mail addresses must fit on one long
line. The maximum length of a line is 512 characters.
An example configuration file is shown below:
# This file remaps the keyword "LONG" to "lng" for all readable
# licenses for feature DOTS (any version).
# It also provides alert actions for all features licensed
# by the license server.
# Note that the alert actions that apply to all non-DOTS
# features do NOT apply to DOTS since DOTS has its own section.
[DOTS *] # For DOTS, we generate only the denied alert
LONG=lng # Remap statement
denied = Script OFF Email ON
EMAIL = jsmith@Engr1
[* *] # For non-DOTS apps, we generate most of the alerts
softlimit = SCRIPT OFF EMAIL ON # Alert action statement
hardlimit = SCRIPT On EMAIL On
denied = Script on Email ON # This better not happen
apptimeout = script on Email off
expired = SCRIPT on email on
EMAIL = mark@jupiter
SCRIPT = /usr/local/etc/lsalertscr
