You should check if the directory /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo belongs to the right user and has the right write permissions.

Since the elogd process belongs to the user "nobody", the directory should best belong to "nobody" as well (or - not recommended - allows write access for "others")

Cheers, Andreas

Dear All,

I could not submit a new enetry to my logbook whenever restarting my laptop.  I am a new user to elog.

Attached is the screenshot of the error message and also there is "nobody" while I grep elog.
