Here is the usage for the bkd server:
Usage: bkd [ options ]-b dir set books directory (def. current directory)
-h print this message
-L dir set library directory (sane default based on bkd location)
-p port set server port (def. 1678)
-r dir set RDB directory (def. same directory as bkd)
-s sec interval for batches (def. 3600 seconds - 0 to disable)
bkd >> BKLOG 2>&1 &
It is your responsiblity to put the server in the background. In the future, example startup scripts may be available. Feel free to contribute any that you write.
If your perl executable is not at /usr/lib/perl, you must edit the first line of the bk, bkd, column, headchg, row and tablegen (yep, all of them) scripts.
You will have to generate your books (or use the ones that are provided) and we recommend that they are not in the BANAL distribution hierarchy. See section 3.3 for information on creating your books.
As this application grows in complexity, the installation process may be required.
bk-0.03/bin/bk
bk-0.03/lib/BK/Client.pm
bk-0.03/lib/BK/Composer.pm
If your version of perl is not at /usr/lib/perl, you must edit the first line of the bk, bkd, column, headchg, row and tablegen (yep, all of them) scripts.
If you don't maintain the .../bin/ and .../lib/ relationship then you will need to run bk (and bkd) with the -L option.
