How do you quietly shut down multiple vendor daemons using lmdown?Answer
Use the lmdown -all option. If multiple servers are specified, it automatically shuts down all of them. -q is implied with -all. Its documented in fnp_LicAdmin.pdf under Chapter 12 Using License Administration Tools.Additional Information
Using the -q options, lmdown is still interactive. This is triggered by having two VDs running at the same with license files that do not have a port number in them, then trying to shut down either using -q -c <license file>:C:\Test>lmgrd -local -c VD1.lic -l SLM.log
C:\Test>lmgrd -local -c demo.lic -l demo.log
C:\Test>lmutil lmdown -q -c VD1.lic

If there's only one server running, -q works fine. The -c <license file> comman fails to identify the VD from a license file if it has no port number. Because lmgrd fails to select the VD, it is forced to become interactive to ask for help on what to shutdown. If it had used the VENDOR directive in the license file, it could have avoided this.
