Starting and Stopping as a Service Using a UNIX Service Script

To start FlexNet Agent 5.15 as a service using a UNIX service script:

1.

Create and copy the service script file (for example, FNMEAAgent.service) to the following boot script directory: /etc/systemd/system. The script needs to specify where the FlexNet Agent is installed and the appropriate command that needs to be executed.

Note:If you are using a 32-bit computer, update the path accordingly.

Give execute permissions to the service.

Ensure that the 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.

Use one of the following commands in the service script:

•

./flexnet-service start

•

./flexnet-service stop

•

./flexnet-service restart

3.

Enable the service script by running the following systemctl command in RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) version 7.5 or later: systemctl enable Your_service_script.service. For example: systemctl enable FNMEAAgent.service. When enabled, the service script is executed by root at startup time.

4.

Reboot the computer. Depending on what command is specified in the service script, the FlexNet Agent will either start, stop or restart after rebooting.
