rs_install can be invoked with a number of options. For example, the -no_log (-nl) option can be used to stop rs_install from creating a log file. To see a listing of all available options, run rs_install -help.

The rs_install command can also be run under the following aliases if you only want to run a specific portion of the install:

license_check allows you to run the FLEXlm lmstat command for counted licenses and the exinstal command for any license file (not port@host). The lmstat command queries the license server for a list of licenses that are in the license pool. The exinstal command checks the license file format and license codes to see if everything is consistent.
