NAME

mbtserver - Tilburg Memory Based Tagger Server

SYNOPSYS

mbtserver [server options]
 
or
 
mbtserver -s settingsfile -S portnumber (deprecated)
 
 

DESCRIPTION

mbtserver extends mbt with a server layer. It provided the possibility to access a trained tagger from multiple sessions. It also allows one to run and access different taggers in parallel.
 

OPTIONS

-h or --help
show help
 
--config=file
read the settings for one or more taggers from the specified configuration file.
 
A configuration file must contain a port specification:
 
port=<number>
 
It may provide a limit to the number of parallel connections:
 
maxconn=<number>
 
And it must give one or more mbt tagger descriptions:
 
<base>=<mbt options line>
 
The <base> is a basename for the Tagger that will be started with the options specified. The basename is needed because it is possible to start several (different) taggers. When accessing the server, we need a way to tell which Tagger we want to use. In general, the mbt options line will just be something like: "-s <settingsfile>", where settingsfile is a file generated by mbtg
 
example config file: 
port=4567
maxconn=15
test1 = -s tests/eindh.set
another = -s tests/wotan.set
 
 
--pidfile=file
store the pid of the main server process in file
 
--logfile=file
log server actions to file
 
--daemonize=[yes|no]
run the server as a daemon. Default is yes.
 
-V or --version
show version
 
deprecated options are
 
-s settingsfile
read settings (probably generated with mbtg ) from the settingsfile
 
-S <port>
run the server on 'port'.
 
For mbt options see mbt(1)
