That's strange. If you edit a message, indeed a draft is saved every ten seconds or so when you keep typing. In our installations we keep an elog entry typically open for eight hours, then save it at the end of the shift, and everything works fine. Have you tried playing aournd with your config file, like "Restrict edit time" or so? Please also make sure you have the current elog version. I sse you have 3.1.3 which is quit old.

Hello,

I've noticed that many times, I start an elog and continue editing adding to a few hours later, then I submit and it deletes everything I entered after the last time a draft was saved. I paid more attention and saw that it saves a draft after about a few minutes, and if I wait too long before submitting, it doesn't let me re-save the draft. My workaround is to copy all text before I submit, so if it ignores whatever I entered after the last saved version, I can edit it and paste it back in. Is there a setting someplace that I can change to fix this problem?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info, I updated the adminguide.

Here's a more complete/correct set of the updated commands:

sudo launchctl enable system/ch.psi.elogd
sudo launchctl bootstrap system /Library/LaunchDaemons/ch.psi.elogd.plist 

sudo launchctl bootout system /Library/LaunchDaemons/ch.psi.elogd.plist
sudo launchctl disable system/ch.psi.elogd

Cheers,

The section of the ELOG Administrator's Guide https://elog.psi.ch/elog/adminguide.html describing how to build and install ELOG on a Mac OS X system has worked well for me for several years, even though there have been warnings that the "load" and "unload" subcommands of the "launchctl" command have been deprecated for some time.  After trying my luck again on a new Mac with the latest operating system, I encountered errors of the type "Load failed: 5: Input/output error" when attempting to follow these instructions.

After a bit of searching around, I used information at the page https://www.alansiu.net/2023/11/15/launchctl-new-subcommand-basics-for-macos/ to deploy the more current subcommands as follows:

sudo launchctl enable system/ch.psi.elogd
sudo launchctl bootstrap system /Library/LaunchDaemons/ch.psi.elogd.plist 

sudo launchctl disable system/ch.psi.elogd

Once the above can be verified, perhaps the instructions in the Administrator's Guide can be updated accordingly.

Hi Stefan, Thanks a lot for implementing the updated commands. I noted that there are a few typos that could cause people confusion if not fixed:

In one case, "launchctl" is misspelled.

Confusingly, I think the two lines containing the 'enable' and 'disable' commands use the contiguous text string "system/ch.psi.elogd" (no space), whereas the two lines containing the 'bootstrap' and 'bootout' commands use the phrase "system /Library/LaunchDaemons/ch.psi.elogd.plist" (note space after 'system').

Many thanks, Andreas W.
