Hi Pan, Is your interest in a command line because you are unable to open a GUI on your display, or is it for other reason, such as able to start it faster when you run repeatedly? Understanding why you are asking for a command line interface might help us make sure we address the root of the question.
There is a class that will run one of the pipelines from the command line without a gui and put the xml output into a directory. However you need to have a classpath set properly. To accomplish that, you could try copying runctakesCPE.bat or runctakesCPE.sh and within the script file, replacing org.apache.uima.tools.cpm.CpmFrame with org.apache.ctakes.clinicalpipeline.ClinicalPipelineWithUmls For now that might be a start. All, I don't think the class I mentioned above is documented anywhere other than some brief comments at the start of the class. Maybe it could be a start of something simple that is command line driven until we get something with groovy written. Otherwise if a simpler interface (GUI) is needed than the UIMA-provided CPE/CVD GUIs (rather than strictly command line), perhaps our own GUI with some defaults would do a better job address new users. -- James -----Original Message----- From: dev-return-2154-Masanz.James=mayo....@ctakes.apache.org [mailto:dev-return-2154-Masanz.James=mayo....@ctakes.apache.org] On Behalf Of Miller, Timothy Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 8:56 PM To: dev@ctakes.apache.org Subject: Re: cTAKES user interface Thanks William and Richard, those are both really excellent pointers.
