Yes, uvlictool clean_lic does execute the same "clean up" code as the deadlock 
daemon, even unto logging to the same file.  I don't believe it actually starts 
a uvdlockd process, however.

There is no documentation on strategy, because none is really to be preferred 
over the others in all cases.  You need to decide what's right for you.  My 
personal preference is not to enable automatic resolution at all, but instead 
to "choose victim" after weighing up the circumstances.  Of course, it is then 
necessary to monitor the log to determine when a deadlock situation has been 
detected.  In two years we've not had any, other than one created deliberately 
for testing the process.
