Please Notice that I've put quotes around : -u "username password" ( the documentation shows that this is not necessary) .  But now it failes to see a required attribute.  

Have you tried without the quotes? They may not be allowed!

 Hello Yoshio

Thanks for the answer. Just solved the problem i was having. It seems that the -m option for elog.exe is a required commandline option. When skipping it elog just waits to get something.
Thanks for the time you took to answer this question.

Kind regards Arno Teunisse

 

There are three ways to supply the elog main body text:

1) Via a text file and the -m switch 

2) On the command line, like

elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l demo -a author=sr -a type=Routine "this is the main body text"

3) Interactively. If you omit both the -m switch and the text, elog reads from the terminal. You can enter several lines, and finish with Ctrl-Z (Windows) and Ctrl-D (Linux)

C:\>elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l demo -a author=sr -a type=Routine
This is the
main body text
