[Tracker] Running Meta tracker from console



Hi

I am trying to use Meta tracker in a non graphical environment. The host
I'm referring to is a fileserver where all users store their files. The
System administrator must be able to run a file statistics tool on the file
server so he can detect un-wished downloads. For that task I have build a
SOAP server that exposes the statisical methods. Until now I have used the
"find" command for filesearching but it has become too slow. Therfore I
need a file indexing daemon to help me in search:

I thought about using Beagle, but it can't be run as root, therefor "Meta
Tracker" seems like the tool to use. I have done some testing on my desktop
PC (running Ubuntu like the fileserver) and it works like a dream in the
graphical environment - but if I startup in console mode the trouble
begins.

1. First I start trackerd -> $ trackerd &
2. Then I do a search -> $ tracker-search something

Following error is presented:
    tracker-search: No connection to tracker daemon
    Ensure "trackerd" is running before launch this command

Also if trackerd has been started from console and I go into the graphical
environment to do a tracker-search i get the following error:
    tracker-search: internal tracker error: Process /usr/bin/trackerd
exited with status 0

Can Meta tracker run without X?

P.S. My SOAP server will be running as a daemon itself and there is no
Graphical Environment present.

/ Jakob
