gwd: Launches the geneweb process

DESCRIPTION

gwd launches the GeneWeb "daemon" process. Once this is done, you can attach to it using a web browser to view your genealogical data.

Connect to the GeneWeb process using a standard web browser using the following:

    http://localhost:2317/base
    http://127.0.0.1:2317/base
    http://address:2317/base
    http://address:port/base

where "base" is the name of the database file.

GeneWeb is coded in the functional language Objective CAML, and can be extended with byte-code or compiled code written in that language.

The primary documentation of gwd is in the HTML , documentation, which you can find in the documentation directory (/usr/share/doc/geneweb on Debian systems).

Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation.
