Description

Fix on handling of multiple license servers. When usage of feature was
not found on first attempt, freezemon used to assume that it could not
be found on other servers. This has now been fixed.

Fix on handling of long user names on certain platforms. A long user
name could lead to "ps" reporting on UID, which would not be
recognized fy freezemon. freezemon can now recognize user on UID as
well as user name.

Patch 497 — Optimizer: More robust freezemon
Previously, freezemon would exit if it failed to run "ps" when
collecting info on processes. Now freezemon will continue running, and
just ignore the cycle when "ps" failed.
Patch 488 — Optimizer: Fix on removal of licenses
Improved handling of Host+Display information. Improved handling of
error messages in output from lmremove command.
Patch 485 — Optimizer: Fix on removal of licenses
When an application is disabled several times, freezemon used to send
lmremove only the first time. This has now been fixed.
Patch 421 — Better detaching in freezemon
This patch makes freezemon detach properly, so that it won't block a ssh
logout.

It also introduces interval configuration in freezemon.conf by adding
interval(Integer)="60"{} near primetime.  This value controls how often
freezemon checks for idle processes, and it is recommended to change it
from its default value (of 60) to 300 on busy servers where multiple
people log in.
Patch 364 — Update for License Optimizer

version of the client programs. Apart from a few bugfixes

   all child processes of processes match using other
   means. The match is recursive.

 - Disabler now handles resume if some processes
   has been killed while being suspended, in this case
   a warning will be given.
