Try:
/usr/local/rsi/idl/bin/lmstat -a | grep "Users of idl:"
You can use the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE to start IDL
using either the node-locked license file, or the floating license
file if no licenses are available, e.g. (untested):
#!/bin/bash
export LM_LICENSE_FILE="/path/to/license_node_locked.dat"
if [ $(/usr/local/rsi/idl/bin/lmstat -a |
sed -n "s/^.*idl: *(Total of \([0-9]\+\).*/\1/p") -eq 0 ]; then
export LM_LICENSE_FILE="/path/to/license_floating.dat";
fi
