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 possi-
	      ble 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'.
