Upstart Script For lmgrd (FlexLM)

FlexLM uses the lmgrd program to host license servers. It comes with the crappiest init script you can imagine. Here is an Upstart script in its place. Specifically it is for an intel license manager, but should be edited to meet your particular license manager needs:

# flexlm for intel compiler

start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=3

stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[!3]

console output
respawn
respawn limit 3 120
expect fork
exec /opt/intel/flexlm/lmgrd.intel -c /opt/intel/flexlm/server.lic -l /opt/intel/flexlm/lmgrd.intel.log

Stick that in file called /etc/init/lmgrd-intel.conf or the like. Start it like any other Upstart job.
