BaseX Server

If you want to interact (execute commands, add databases, add users) with the server, start the server with the -i flag.

> basexserver -i

All available command-line flags can be listed by adding -h to the call:

> basexserver -h

Usage: BaseXServer [-s] [-dpz] [-c] [stop]
  stop     Stop existing server
  -c<cmd>  Execute initial database command(s)
  -d       Activate debugging mode
  -i       Enter interactive mode
  -p<num>  Set server port
  -s       Start as service
  -z       Suppress logging

If the server is succesfully started, this is coming up:

BaseX [Server]
Server was started.

BaseX Client
