MAT GUI Controller

Description

The MAT GUI controller is a wrapper around the optional tabbed terminal which is (usually) distributed with MAT. If available, this utility will start either the mrxvt tabbed terminal application (on Unix) or the Terminator tabbed terminal application (on Mac), or the Console tabbed terminal application (on Windows). The application runs MATWeb, and contains four tabs:

• An interactive loop to control the Web server thread of MATWeb
• A tab showing the output of the tagger server thread of MATWeb
• A tab showing the access history of the Web server thread of MATWeb
• A tab showing the standard error of the Web server thread of MATWeb

Here's a screen shot of the Mac version of the tabbed terminal:

If the tabbed terminal is not available, this utility will simply start up MATWeb in the current shell (on Mac or Unix) or in a new Cygwin shell (on Windows).

Usage

Unix:

% $MAT_PKG_HOME/bin/mat_controller.sh

Windows native:

(double-click on %MAT_PKG_HOME%/bin/mat_controller.bat to launch)

There are no arguments or command-line flags available.
