Probe to calculate latency and free space in a file system.
In some situations, using other methods to set the LM_VAR_NAME variable on the fly may be preferred. The utility vovgetflexlmdaemons can be used to locate the daemons that need to be used based on the resources grabbed by Accelerator at dispatch time.
The program vovgetnetinfo is used with Accelerator and Monitor to fill in information about the hosts. vovgetnetinfo is to be run periodically from the scripts created by the vovcrontab command.
A utility related to vovgetnetinfo is vovinfo, which performs the same function as vovsh -s netinfo, but with a smaller binary. This binary can only get host and process information, and does not have Tcl/TK or the VTK API.
vovsh -s netinfo

Creates Monitor database schema using the database settings specified in licmon.swd/db/config.tcl. Settings can be overridden with options.
