Before running the Usage Monitor daemon on Unix, be sure to edit the configuration file as needed for your site (see section 4, Configuring the License Statistics Usage Monitor).
To start the Usage Monitor:
xflicstat -b /path/configfile
where /path/configfile is the full path to the Usage Monitor configuration file; for example, xflicstat -b ./xflicstat.cfg. (See section 4, Configuring the License Statistics Usage Monitor for information about the configuration file.)
Note: Alternatively, you may use the -c option (xflicstat -c /path/configfile) to run the Usage Monitor in console mode. The -c option displays the same information that is written to the Usage Monitor log file, and should be used only to check the Usage Monitor; for example, for troubleshooting purposes.
To kill (stop running) the Usage Monitor:
ps ux | grep xflicstat
This command returns a process number (pid).
kill pid
For example:
# ps ux |grep xflicstat
26274 pts/1 0:00 xflicstat
# kill 26274
