You can run this little script to check if all entries referenced "In reply to:" do actually exist.
To use it, you first need to "cd" to your logbook directory ("cd /usr/local/elog/logbooks") and then run it without arguments "logcheck".
If it finds references pointing to a missing entry, it'll print the path to the file with the offending reference and some lines. For example:
### error: reference to entry 146, that exists 0 times. Reference is:
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-<p>[...].</p>
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-$ @ MID @ $: 147
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-Date: Mon, 07 May 2012 13:44:03 +0200
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log:In reply to: 146
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-Wann: 1336373261
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-Autor: [...]
### Proscan/2012/120507a.log-Eintrag: Problem
[...]- Very often this happens if an entry is deleted AFTER someone already replied to it. Normally that is no problem, but in some cases you might get infinite loops and that causes ELOG to hang. The script is not checking for loops, but wrong references might give you a hint where to look.
The script will print duplicate entries as well, if the referenced entry exist more than once.
Cheers, Andreas
PS: never include the string "$ @ MID @ $:" without spaces in an ELOG entry: apparently ELOG cuts off all text from that token on.
