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.

Note: If you created the License Statistics init script during installation, we recommend using the init script to start and stop the service instead of starting and stopping it manually as described below.

To start License Statistics:

...

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:

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.

To kill (stop running) License Statistics:

...

          For example:
         # ps ux |grep xflicstat   
         26274 pts/1    0:00 xflicstat  
         # kill 26274
