Starting and Stopping as a Service Using a UNIX Service Script

To start FlexNet Agent 5.7 as a service using a UNIX service script:

1. Copy the service script agent_install_dir/flexnet-service to an appropriate boot script directory, such that it can be executed by root at startup time—for example, the /etc/init.d directory.

Note:Ensure that the flexnet-service script contains a user who can manage the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications. This user is identified in the response file using the property UNIX_USER.

2. Run the service script using one of the following commands:
./flexnet-service start
./flexnet-service stop
./flexnet-service restart
