Command-line check for available licenses

I want to block fitter until there is an available license, otherwise the fitter fails. How do I check for available floating licenses in general when I run Quartus tools in command line. ...

I certainly don't want to write a script to parse all the output of "lmutil lmstat -a -c port@server", and that's probably not what Quartus GUI is doing either.

~/.altera.quartus/quartus2.ini contains "WAIT_FOR_LICENSE" setting. That's exactly what I needed to change (WAIT_FOR_LICENSE = on), and that seemed to solve the problem.

Thanks for the answer,
