Hi Kenzo,
I think it would help me to understand your problem, if you would provide a minimal configuration file with two
logbooks.

There is no ELOG internal feature to propagate data from one logbook to another; 
using a shell script is the only method I know.
But you could easily put your script into the background: 
ELOG can handle multiple parallel request, by handling one request after the other.

Kind Regards, Andreas
