Thanks!

I like the implementation, especially with the tooltip popping up anywhere in the
area.  Thanks.

I was trying to do some hard coded spaces using:

Thread display = For: $Date for Shutdown.   $DataCenter:
$short summary. Coordinator: $Shutdown Coordinator.

The spacing actually works mthe first time, but upon going back into editing
the config file, the coded spaces are gone, replaced with real spaces, and
when saved all real multiple spaces are, as one would expect, ignored.  The
spacing reverts back to normal.

I tried other html tags but these show up as literals.

Thanks

As always - fantastic!

Thanks

The help text on the website says the following:

"The command Select can be used to select multiple messages for deletion of
moving to other logbooks."

This is not clear but was the intent to indicate that SELECT can be used to
either select multiple log entries for deletion OR for moving to another
logbook?  If the latter, then this does not work if one adds the MOVE TO
menu item to the list.  If the former then the helptext is a little misleading.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is a configuration problem or a bug, but running
v2.5.4subver1.413, elogd runs as user ROOT (UID0) even though the following
is in the elogd.cfd file:

Usr = nobody
Grp = essadm

All other directives added to the cfg file work, so I know eLog is reading
the cfg file.  

The elogd binary *is not* setuid 0.

Thanks

Thank you.  I had added the "Move To" and this works at the log entry level (i.e., "Move
To <name>) but in the threaded view one does not get the enumerated list of logbooks.

I'll play around with it a little more before re-posting.  When it didn't work as I
expected I read the docs and ran across the confusing text - so I stopped and asked!

Thanks again.

Ok, just checking.  I will fiddle around with running it interactively and see what
I get, plus I'll have a look at the setuser function under Solaris.

Just for grins, what version of compiler are you using under Linux?

Thanks again!
