Hi Folks

I saw this error in my sybase error log:

"No valid licence for ASE..."

Having traced it down I discovered that I had not started the SySAM

(SySAM = Sybase Software Asset Management. Used to manage licensed
Sybase products. SySAM is used in ASE 12.0 and above. At server start
up each ASE server checks the license file in its environment for the
permission to run specific features. In order for the server to do
this, a license manager and a vendor module must be running)

Solution -- Started the license manager, checked today's logs and it
shows as being started above error message is not displayed

used the following to restart it.

$SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/bin lmgrd -c $SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/licenses/license.dat
-l logfile &

The sybase server sits on a SUN box (running Solaris 8) and is
restarted every night.

Can I get the SySAM license manager to restart automatically if we
turn the sun box off and on again, if so what would be the best way to
do this.


My thanks in advance (as always)
