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'.
