Thanks for the prompt feedback.

a) I confirm that the problems shows up also when running interactively the elog through  elogd -p 8080

b) I am trying to catch the exit using lldb on the mac machine. I will be able to give you some feedback on that I hope in the next week (not easy access to the server)

c) What is the clean - recommended way to port everything on the linux machine and debug? I would do the following: download/install elog on a linux server, 'copy' all that now lives under /usr/local/elog on the mac one on the linux server, start the elog... is this ok? or there's anything else that I need to copy from the mac server to be sure to have the same environment?

Thanks again.

Alessio

This kind of behavior we typically see if some elog entry is corrupt. After a few hours you might access this corrupt entry by accident, and then the server stops. If you see however this behavior on a fresh logbook with no corrupt entries, then the problem must lie somewhere else.

Do you see the same problem running under linux?

Do you see the same problem if you run elogd interactively (not through launchd)?

If you run elogd inside a debugger (like gdb or lldb), what does the debugger tell you when it crashes and you show the stack frames? Make sure to compile with -O0 and -g flags to include debug information in the executable.

Dear all.

I am running elog 

elogd 3.1.4 , revision ead6bbc6

on Macosx Mojave

Darwin arpg-serv.ing2.uniroma1.it 18.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 18.5.0: Mon Mar 11 20:40:32 PDT 2019; root:xnu-4903.251.3~3/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

I managed to compile and run without problems the elog source code.

I can run it and have it properly displayed at boot time. After the server boot, for few hours, I have the elog ready at http://arpg-serv.ing2.uniroma1.it/elog  but then, after few hours.. I get that the service stops and the elog is no longer accessible.

So far I was able to track down the problems only to the 

/var/log/system.log

file in which I find a not useful error message:

Eg: Apr 23 14:00:46 arpg-serv com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (ch.psi.elogd[85248]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1

I do not know I can I debug this nor why the code runs for few hours without problems... I just re-downloaded the code from scratch today, unloaded and then re-loaded the daemon but still it fails with the same error.

I am sure that I can get it running again for few hours by re-booting. But I want to understand the source of the problem.. Anyone can be of help on this long standing issue?

Thanks

I ask my users where they had the problems and then create a demo for testing.
Thanks Heinz

So you are telling me that "Restrict edit time" is not working correctly? In order to fix any problem, I have to reproduce it. Can you post a minimel elogd.cfg file with which I can reproduce the problem?

Heinz Junkes wrote:

Sorry, 

I meant "read only" by using "Restrict edit time" settings. e.g.

Restrict edit time = 24

I understand this to mean that an entry should not be able to be modified after 24 hours.

There is no "read only" flag. Please describe what you exactly did. Probably you want "Restrict edit time" for that.

Thanks for the answer. The real problem is that you can overwrite existing entries even if you have set an entry to "read only", i.e. you have forbidden further editing.

There are two ways:

1) Use different password files for different logbooks. Each password file contains only those users which have access to that logbook.

2) Use "Login user = <usr list>" to restrict access to certain users in that list.
