assuming you are not asking about a server, could you run it from
.bash_profile ?


add to ~~~~~~~~~~ .bash_profile ~~~~~~~~~~
readyIDL.sh &

~~~~~~~~~~ file readyIDL.sh ~~~~~~~~~~
#!/bin/bash
if ![ -d /usr/tmp/ ]; then mkdir /usr/tmp/; fi
curDir=`pwd`
cd /usr/tmp/
touch .flexlm
chmod 666 .flexlm
killall lmgrd
killall idl_lmgrd
sleep 30
killall lmgrd
killall idl_lmgrd
sleep 60
/usr/local/exelis/idl82/bin/bin.linux.x86/lmgrd -c
/usr/local/exelis/license/license.dat -l
/usr/local/exelis/license/lmgrd.log &
cd $curDir
notify-send 'readyIDL' 'IDL should be ready to use now, if not debug
readyIDL.sh'
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

it might need some debuging, and I'm not a bash expert, but even if half
of it is wrong it might give you some ideas on how to proceed...

Good luck, Markus
