This article explains why the LMF daemon does not start at boot time when inittab is present.

Problem:

LMF can be started from the command line but it fails to start after a reboot. The correct entry resides in /var/inittab:

mF:2345:wait:sh /etc/mflmrcscript > /dev/null 2>&1

Resolution:

This can happen when LMFCOMM is used to relocate the named pipe file LMF-common. This needs to be reflected in the start-up script mflmrcscript. The directory specified by LMFCOMM must have full read/write/execute permission for all users who will be using the licensed development system. See the section on Relocating the Long-lived Named Pipe in the Development System Licensing Guide Chapter 2, Administering the License Management Facility.
