3. send a warrning to some Admin person by mailx if license are out of use.

You have to build a custom shell script with some awk/sed/perl utilities for this purpose. Refer to Dave's program in the thread - Licence monitoring in SLM

4.kill hang up process more then two days old which consumed licenses.

I have not seen this issue in SLM it appears an issue in the Baan-4/licmon utility.

Hopefully, these tips will give you an idea how to proceed. As always 'Read the Documentation' to get to know the new Production Features and use the search option to look for already discussed topics.
