The information on this page refers to License Statistics 4.9 or newer, which made changes to the License Statistics init script and limits starting and stopping License Statistics on Linux to using the init script. If you are running a previous version of License Statistics, see documentation for License Statistics 4.5. |
An init script is used to start, stop, and restart License Statistics and determine whether License Statistics is currently running.
The init script is created during License Statistics installation under the general system init script directory for your specific Linux distribution (for example, /etc/init.d for Debian and RHEL). If the init script is not stored in the system init script directory (for example, the person installing License Statistics had inadequate permissions to write to the directory or chose during installation not to install to the directory, or if writing to the directory fails for any reason), the init script will be stored in the "init" directory under the License Statistics installation directory.
You use the init script by running the following commands, where /init is the directory that contains the init script:
Command | Action |
|---|---|
| Starts License Statistics. |
| Stops License Statistics. |
| Restarts License Statistics. |
| Reports whether License Statistics is currently running. |
Note: Alternatively, you may run License Statistics in console mode using xflicstat /path/configfile where /path/configfile is the path to your License Statistics configuration file. This will display the same information that is written to the License Statistics log file, and should be used only to check License Statistics; for example, for troubleshooting purposes.
