You wrote you want to upload a text file, then you need to add at the end "-m <file>". E.g. if the text-file is named "C:text.txt", then write:
elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l Tartan+Tow+Log -d elog -a Ticket+date="Jul26/11" -n 1 -m C:text.txt
The "-n 1" is just to tell elog to upload plain text. If you do not specify "-m <file>" then it expects input from a pipe and therefore hangs. If you don't know what "input from a pipe" means then ALWAYS use the "-m <file>" option.
PS: if "Ticket date" is of the format "date" then it is sensitive to the formatting of the date string. "Jul26/11" is likely not a legal date format. Better do not specify it for the first test. Write instead:
elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l Tartan+Tow+Log -d elog -n 1 -m C:text.txt
PPS: do you really use a sub-directory "elog" instead of the default location "logbooks" for your ELOG logbook files? If not, then leave out this option, too.
elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l Tartan+Tow+Log -n 1 -m C:text.txt
