MATLAB Installation Guide for Unix |

Starting the License Manager
If the license manager daemons are not running, you can start them by executing the lmstart
script (
located in the $MATLAB/etc
directory) or by rebooting your system, if you edited the system boot script. The license manager must be running to start MATLAB.
Note
Any time you make changes to the license.dat file, you must restart the license manager daemons by running lmstart . The lmstart script stops any currently running daemons and starts new ones. |
Starting the License Manager Automatically
If you want to start the license manager daemons automatically at boot time, you must edit the UNIX boot script on your system, adding the Bourne shell commands required to start the license manager on your system.
Note
You must have superuser status to edit boot scripts.
|
MATLAB provides the commands required for each UNIX system in a set of files included in the $MATLAB/etc
directory. Each file has the name rc.lm.system
, where system
identifies the system type.
For example, the file rc.lm.glnx86
contains the boot script commands required to start the license manager on Linux systems.
#
#MATLAB FLEXlm Network License Manager Daemon
#
if [ -f /etc/lmboot_TMW12 ]; then
/etc/lmboot_TMW12 -u username
&& echo '
MATLAB_lmgrd'
fi
Table 1-1 describes how to insert these Bourne shell code fragments for all supported platforms.
Note
When you add these commands to a boot script, you must replace username with an actual user name. Do not specify the name associated with superuser. For security reasons the license manager daemons cannot be owned by superuser.

Procedure
|
Compaq Alpha (Tru64 UNIX)
|
Execute the commands cd $MATLAB/etc
cp rc.lm.alpha /sbin/init.d/flexlm
chmod 555 /sbin/init.d/flexlm Edit /sbin/init.d/flexlm , replacing username in the code with an actual user name. Execute the commands cd /sbin/rc3.d
ln -s /sbin/init.d/flexlm S56flexlm
|
HP 9000 (HP-UX)
|
Execute the commands cd $MATLAB/etc
cp rc.lm.hp /sbin/init.d/flexlm
chmod 555 /sbin/init.d/flexlm Edit /sbin/init.d/flexlm , replacing username in the code with an actual user name. Create the file /etc/rc.config.d/flexlm containing the line FLEXlm_MATLAB=1 and then create the links cd /sbin/rc3.d
ln -s /sbin/init.d/flexlm S900flexlm
cd /sbin/rc2.d
ln -s /sbin/init.d/flexlm K100flexlm
|
IBM RS/6000 (AIX)
|
Copy the code from $MATLAB/etc/rc.lm.ibm_rs and paste it at the end of /etc/rc.nfs. Replace username in the code fragment with an actual user name.
|
Linux
|
Copy the code from $MATLAB/etc/rc.lm.glnx86 and paste it at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local . Replace username in the code fragment with an actual user name.
|
SGI (IRIX/IRIX64)
|
Execute the commands cd $MATLAB/etc cp rc.lm.sgi /etc/init.d/lm chmod 555 /etc/init.d/lm Edit /etc/init.d/lm , replacing username in the code with an actual user name. Execute the commands cd /etc/rc2.d ln -s /etc/init.d/lm S45lm
|
Sun (Solaris 2.x)
|
Copy the code from $MATLAB/etc/rc.lm.sol2 and paste it at the beginning of /etc/init.d/lmgrd. Create this file if it doesn't already exist. Edit /etc/init.d/lmgrd, replacing username in the code fragment with an actual user name. If file (link) /etc/rc3.d/S17lmgrd does not exist, create it with cd /etc/rc3.d ln -s ../init.d/lmgrd S17lmgrd
