UNIX and Linux
To get the status information, type the following command:
./ult_srv status
Viewing the process information files
You can check the server status by looking for the status files in the processes directory. This directory is by default under the UNICOM License Server working directory. You can use a different directory by setting the ProcessInfoPath parameter in the [Initialisation] section of the ult_licesrv.ini file.
When UNICOM License Server runs, it puts status files in the processes directory. The status files have the name of the server, ULTLicenseServer, with the extensions of .starting, .running and .stopping. Check which files are in the directory to find the status.

While UNICOM License Server is active, it keeps the files open and writes information such as PID and STATUS to the files. Other applications can access the information in the status files by opening them “read-only”.
UNICOM License Server deletes the status files when the service status changes. If the service has a catastrophic failure, the files might not be deleted.
To identify if the service has failed, another application can try to open the status file for exclusive write access. If it succeeds, it indicates that UNICOM License Server has failed.
