Most of our customer want the license manager to automatically start when the license server boots. Do this by adding the toolworks_init command (see “Starting the License Manager Manually”) to the appropriate system start-up file. (Ask your system manager where this should go.) On most systems, you should also automatically stop the license manager when the system shuts down to single-user mode.

You can edit your startup files by running the Configure_Autostart shell script, which must be run as root. For example, if the license manager software is in the /usr/local/toolworks directory, run Configure_Autostart using the following commands. (Before entering these commands, use the su shell command to become the root user or use the sudo command to directly invoke the following program.)
