Before running the License Statistics daemon on Unix, be sure to edit the configuration file as needed for your site (see Configuring License Statistics). If you make changes to the configuration file while License Statistics is running, you must stop and restart License Statistics for the changes to take effect.
...
- Run License Statistics as a daemon by entering the following command from a Unix command line:
./xflicstat -b /path/configfile
where path/configfile is the full path to the License Statistics configuration file; for example, ./xflicstat -b ./xflicstat.cfg.
If you execute this command outside of the License Statistics installation directory, you must designate the path using an additional command line variable; for example:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/xflicstat/" /usr/xflicstat/xflicstat -b /usr/xflicstat/xflicstat.cfg
Note: Alternatively, you may use the -c option (xflicstat -c /path/configfile) to run License Statistics in console mode. The -c option displays 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. - Consult your OS documentation for further information on how to start up the daemon process automatically upon reboot. If you do not set up the License Statistics daemon to start automatically, you must run it manually (as described above) each time you reboot the machine.
To view the statistics, go to http://hostname:port, where server is the name of the computer where License Statistics was installed and port is the http server port number specified in the License Statistics configuration file, as described in Configuring License Statistics.
