Batch command file

Create a file with commands for installing licenses.

In this task, you save a list of flmprg batch commands to file, to run on the Four Js License Manager.

  1. Create an text file.
  2. Create a list of commands and save them to the text file.

    Enter one command per line.

    • In a shell script for Linux® and macOS™, enter commands as shown in the sample:
      flmprg --batch action=uninstall-license^lnum=TAB#XXXXXXXX
flmprg --batch action=product-info
flmprg --batch action=install-license-string-http^license-string=7b5576e756d563a7854413523414195303144395a222c906c6b6579233f

flmprg --batch action=license-info
# ...
    • In a bat file for running in a Windows® environment, you need to double the caret (^^) symbol in the commands where required as shown in the sample.
      flmprg --batch action=uninstall-license^^lnum=TAB#XXXXXXXX
flmprg --batch action=product-info
flmprg --batch action=install-license-string-http^^license-string=7b5576e756d563a7854413523414195303144395a222c906c6b6579233f

flmprg --batch action=license-info
# ...
    The batch command also accepts commands written in JSON; therefore, you can create a list of commands using the JSON format and save to a JSON file.
    Enter one command per line.
    {"action":"uninstall-license","lnum":"TAB#XXXXXXXX"}
{"action":"product-info"}
{"action":"install-license-string-http","license-string":"7b5576e756d563a7854413523414195303144395a222c906c6b657

{"action":"license-info"}
  3. To execute the commands in the file, pipe the command file into a command to run the flmprg in batch console mode.
    For example, this command executes the command file named cmds.
    flmprg --batch-console < cmds
    Alternatively, you can filter the commands into a command to run the flmprg in batch console mode.
    • In Linux and macOS, enter the command as shown in the sample:
      cat cmds | flmprg --batch-console
    • In a Windows environment, enter the command as shown in the sample.
      type cmds | flmprg --batch-console
