Hi all

I have setup an logbook that executes a number of shell scripts to preset attributes and append standart information, which works great. Now I am trying to daemonise the whole thing. I have tried the -D option as well as daemontools. In both cases the logbook itself is functional but the bash scripts do not get executed.

Any ideas how I can resolve this problem?

Martin

Usually the problem comes from the fact that a daemon runs from the root directory ('/') by definition. I might not find your scripts if they are not in the path. Try to call them explicitly with the ful path like "/usr/local/elog/script.sh".
