Hey Alexander, A while ago I put together a couple of files to run basex as a system daemon using init. I don't know if this is still useful after the move to systemd or upstart, but just in case it is of some use, I'm sharing it here: https://github.com/jtatria/basexd Best, jta On Thu Feb 05 2

Some years ago … running anything interesting on a Linux platform was a geekish activity involving compilation, dependency-hunting and many other time-consuming activities that put quite a few people off. In the interim, non-technical Linux users (like me!) have become used to packages that do all

Hi Niels, BaseX has some very nice documentation in the wiki [1]. The WIkibooks XQuery document can be helpful[2] and Priscilla Walmsley's XQuery book is an absolutely fantastic reference. Hope that's helpful. Cheers, Bridger [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XQuery [2] http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki
