Please tell me for what purpose you need two identical logbooks. Maybe what you want can be achieved in a simpler way.

As the server is single-process, it locks: elog is waiting for elogd to be ready and elogd is waiting for elog to finish to accept new requests. As my server is on a Windows machine I canīt execute elog on background. |
Have you tried to start your elog with the start command under Widnows, like start elog .... This is the equivalent of starting a process in the background under linux.

This is because you use the same data directory for both servers. If one server writes a new entry to a file, the other server does not realize this. Only when you restart it, it rescans the whole data directory and gets aware of the new entry. Try using separate data directories for the two servers.

Parsing attributes is not implemented and therefore will not work. |
