Hi,

Usually you have a flexlm utility called lmstat, which used with the -a 
switch will produce some rather verbose output you can then parse.

Regards,
Stephane

Wouldn't there be some commandline utility from the FLEXnet package
that you can use, e.g. to query the number of currently in-use
licenses ? As long as it contacts the network daemon it can be used to
check that the daemon is running, and then you can probably make a
custom test wrapper around the command line tool, and generate the
Hobbit status based on this.
    
Hi Henrik, 
you are right (as usually :) . Now it is time to talk to the other 
sysadmins and see what they know of such a command line utility, 
but I am sure they have talked about it. 
Thanks.
