Subject: Re: Can't use the command-line client 
I have a similar problem. I am using Windows version, and whenever I use the elog client to send entry, it will not take with MOptions set. I usually have 2 attributes required (both MOptions), and I get the message that it is missing a required attribute. When I use ROptions, or Options, it works fine. Is there a problem with MOptions, or am I perhaps using a badly formatted commandline?

Commandline as follows: C:\elog>elog -h IP_ADR -p 80 -l gbld -u username password -a Type=Other -a Operator=SCADA -a Category=Controls -a Subject=Alarm "Please ignore."

Type and Category are required and MOptions.

Below is the pertinent part of the config file:

;***** Attribute Section
Attributes = Log Date, Operator, Type, Category, Engine, Work Order #, EPN, Fuel Tank 1 (A&B), Fuel Tank 2 (C&D), Engine Hours Stop, Engine Hours Start, Email To, Subject

Comment EPN = (Equipment Piece Number)
Comment Fuel Tank 1 (A&B) = (West)
Comment Fuel Tank 2 (C&D) = (East)

MOptions Type = Alarm, Trouble, ESP, Haz. Wx.,Problem, PM, Routine, Load Test, Other
MOptions Category = Engine, Generator, Controls, Fuel, Oil, HV Switchgear, MLG&W, Other
Options Engine = All, 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 1C, 2C, 3C, 4C, 5C, 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, A Bus, B Bus, C Bus, D Bus, A&B Busses, C&D Busses, West Gen (001), East Gen (002)

Required Attributes = Type, Category, Subject

If time permits, I would appreciate any help possible.

BTW, I like the additional elcode.
