Overview

Description

The Keywords backend is a simple backend for automatic keyword

spotting.

Prerequisites

* A UNIX or UNIX-like operating system, e.g., NetBSD, Solaris, Mac

OS X, or Linux.

The PyUnit backend does run on Windows (with some restrictions),

but this is neither supported nor recommended.

* "Python":http://python.org/

* "ECSpooler":http://wdok.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/software/ecspooler

* ECSpooler is primarily intended to be used via the

"ECAutoAssessmentBox":http://plone.org/products/ecautoassessmentbox

Plone product. So you will normally have a Plone installation

with ECAutoAssessmentBox.

Installation

* Unzip this archive under the 'backends' directory of your

ECSpooler installation (for example '/opt/ESpooler/backends/').

Quick Start

After installation, first start ECSpooler (see the ECSpooler

documentation for details). Then you should be able to start the

PyUnit backend using the following command (you may have to specify

the path)::

backendctl -u root -p bazquux Keywords start

If you run this command as root, the process will be started as user

"nobody".

Once the backend is running, check the status of the backend using::

spoolerctl -u root -p bazquux status

and get a response similar to::

{'queue': 0, 'backends': ['keywords'], 'pid': 27423, 'results': 0}

For administrative tasks such as starting/stopping backends

authentication is required. Therefore ECSpooler ships with a

password file ('etc/passwd') containing a user "root" with default

password "bazquux". See the ECSpooler documentation if you would

like to add/change users and passwords.
