Linux lmgrd-ivs Startup Script Sample

This is a script that can be used to startup the lmgrd-ivs daemons for our license server.
CODE
#!/bin/sh
#
# lmgrd-ivs       This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
#                 the FlexLM License Server for Fledermaus network
#                 licenses.
#
# To install:
#  1.  Place this script in /etc/init.d
#  2a. Run chkconfig --add lmgrd-ivs
#      This automatically enables the script in run levels 3,4 and 5
#  2b. Systems without chkconfig will require manually creating
#      symlinks in the appropriate /etc/rcX.d directories to the script.
#  3.  Edit this script to your liking, setting at least IVSHOME. 
#
#
# description: lmgrd is a license server that is used
# to distribute licenses to needy client machines.
# chkconfig: 345 99 05 
# probe: true
#
# Created:  2004-02-20 wb
# Modified: 2004-12-14 wb - Sun fix, shutdown fix, added reload

#
# EDIT the next four items to suit your situation.
# These are the defaults for when using the IVS installers.
#
# 1. Where Fledermaus was installed.  This is the default
#    given when installing Fledermaus.  
#    This may be the only value that you have to edit!
IVSHOME="/data1/IVS7"
# 2. Where the lmutil program is stored.
LMUTIL_PATH="$IVSHOME/lmutils"
# 3. Where the lmutils license server and license are stored.
LMSERVER_PATH="$IVSHOME/lmutils/server"
# 4. The user that the license server runs as.
#    This user must have login privileges, "nobody" might not on some systesm.
LIC_USER="nobody"
# 5. Log file name.  Note that the server deletes the log each restart,
#                    unless you add + in front of the file name.
#                    Deleting is GOOD, unless the file is /dev/null.
