Hi,

I have been using ELOG for a while and I love it.  It is a default installation on Debian Lenny and ELOG 2.7.8.  I am having problems with the deamon script, I can stop the service by doing /etc/init.d/elog stop but I can't started.  When I do /etc/init.d/elog start I get this error: "Starting ELOG daemon: elogdCannot open "elogd.cfg": No such file or directory"

Somewhere there is a bad path to the elogd.cfg which is in "/usr/local/elog"

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you.

Here is the scrip:

[code]

#!/bin/sh
# Init script for ELOG.
# Recai Oktas <roktas@omu.edu.tr>

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/elogd
NAME=elogd
DESC="ELOG daemon"

# Always run as daemon.
ARGS="-D"

# Admin might change some command line options without touching this script.
if [ -f /etc/default/elog ]; then
        . /etc/default/elog
fi

test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

set -e

case "$1" in
        start)
                echo -n "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
                start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
                        --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS >/dev/null
                echo "."
                ;;
        stop)
                echo -n "Stopping $DESC: $NAME"
                start-stop-daemon --oknodo --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
                        --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS >/dev/null
                echo "."
                ;;
        reload)
                # Do nothing since ELOG daemon responds to
                # the changes in conffile directly.
                ;;
        restart|force-reload)
                echo -n "Restarting $DESC: $NAME"
                start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile \
                        /var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS >/dev/null
                sleep 1
                start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile \
                        /var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS >/dev/null
                echo "."
                ;;
        *)
                N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
                echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}" >&2
                exit 1
                ;;
esac

exit 0

Unfortunately the Debian distribution was not done by me, so I only can guess:

  • Is the executable existing under /usr/local/sbin/elogd ?
  • In the start) section, I cannot find any reference to /usr/local/elog, so you maybe need something like
    ARGS="-D -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg"
