Options

ulimit

Vendor daemon can't talk to lmgrd (Cannot read data from license server 
(-16,287:22 "Invalid argument")) 12:30:18 (lmgrd) Vendor daemon died with status 39

The user's "file descriptor" limit is set too low.

bourne shell

ulimit -H -n 1000

csh shell

limit -h descriptors 1000

I normally set it to 1000, but others may recommend 1024. In the attached scripts, because we are running the process as another user, I envoke it as part of the command line.

su $LICMGR -c "ulimit -n 1000;                  \
   ${LMBIN}/lmgrd -c ${LICDIR}/$f.dat -l ${LOGDIR}/$f.log"
