The command is passed to your shell, and some shells except more than one command. Most Linux shells accept commands separated by ';', which you can try yourself by entering for example: ls *.c; ls*.h

Hi
Im just curious is it possible to run more then one command using Execute new = <command> or will i have to run a script to run muliple commands.
I tried using '&&' to seperate more then one command but it seems that the first one only gets executed and the rest are just ignored.
Regards
Kenzo

As far as I know ELOG is recognising a configuration line as a comment only when it starts with a ';'.
I can assure you that ELOG does not treat the rest of the line as a comment when you use a ';' within a $shell() command: I do it a lot and it works fine. Here's a simple, generic example using the bash:
Preset Author = $shell(if [ $short_name = "Anonym" ] ;then echo $Author;else echo \"$long_name, $Author\";fi)
It adds $long_name to the Author field for non-anonymous entries.
Cheers Andreas

If i put the ';' into Execute the rest of the command becomes a comment thats why i was trying to use '&&' instead. If I encapulate the whole command in "" or '' then both commands are executed but the files im trying to write to gets created but no data is piped into it. When I use Execute with one command and pipe its output to a file everything works fine though.

Can you send me the part of your config files with those things so that I can
reproduce it? |
