Starts the server.

server [ configuration_file ]

If no configuration file is present, the default configuration "kosi_server.properties" is used.

The default configuration file looks like:

connectionTimeout=300000
readTimeout=900000
weak_encryption=true

user_ping_interval=180
user_offline_timeout=180

dbdir=db
sslprovider=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider

Description of the configuration entries:

• connectionTimeout - Timeout for unused connections (in milliseconds). Default is 5 minutes.
• readTimeout - Timeout while waiting for the return of a call to a client (in milliseconds). Default is 15 minutes.
• weakEncryption - Wether to use weak encryption. If turned on, only 32-bit random numbers are used while generating session keys. This reduces security, but increases performance a lot.
• user_ping_interval - Interval the user is pinged in (in seconds). This is the maximum time the server will take to find out, when a user has disconnected without logging out. Defai
• user_offline_timeout - Interval the user object is destroyed after the user has disconnected (in seconds). If the user reconnects in the meantime, he can resume his session.
• dbdir - Directory the database is found in (relative to the KoSI root directory).
• sslprovider - Provider used for SSL.

Please only change the entries, if you know exactly, what you are doing.
