What I do, in a shell script...
while (`/usr/local/rsi/idl/bin/lmstat -A | grep nodelocked | wc -m`)
sleep 600
end
{run IDL}
This works on my machine with a single user, nodelocked license. You
may need to fiddle with the string you grep for to make it work in your
environment...

You are absolutely correct. As far as I can tell after 20 minutes of
experimentation, there is no way to do this inside IDL. Suggestions:
(1) Ask RSI (mailto:support@rsinc.com)
(2) Check the FlexLM documentation at
http://www.globetrotter.com/lmsupp.htm. I looked at lmstat, but I
couldn't see how to check if all licenses were in use.
Cheers,
Liam.

Dear Liam,the startup file seems to be executed after the check on the
license,
<BR>and I need to shadow the 'do you want to wait for...... (y/n)?' message
<BR>to the user and exit automatically.
<P>Any idea?

The following function may help:
;---cut here---
FUNCTION CHECK_DEMO_MODE
;- Check for demo mode consistently in IDL versions 5.0, 5.1, 5.2
;- Returns TRUE if IDL is running in demo mode.
if float(!version.release) lt 5.1 then begin
return, demo_mode()
endif else begin
return, lmgr(/demo)
endelse
END
;---cut here---
Then all you need in your starup file is
if check_demo_mode() then exit
Cheers,
Liam.
