Good day,

My question is : Is it possible to submit to multiple logbooks simultaniously ?

I have 5 logbooks that could share common attributes, is there a way to acheive that without recreate a new entry in each of them ?

Thanks for your help.

Hey,

You can use the elog command line tool and submit the same attributes to the 5 different logbooks by iterating over the logbook names executing something like this:

elog -l logbook1 -a "attr1=value1" -a "attr2=value2"

elog -l logbook2 -a "attr1=value1" -a "attr2=value2"

elog -l logbook3 -a "attr1=value1" -a "attr2=value2"

elog -l logbook4 -a "attr1=value1" -a "attr2=value2"

elog -l logbook5 -a "attr1=value1" -a "attr2=value2"

Another option would be having an additional common logbook, removing the commonly shared attributes from the other logbooks and add an attribute which links to this entry (using the "elog:logbook/ID" syntax as a value).

Cheers, eddy

I searched and found some problems people were having compiling it on Solaris.
However I didn't see anything else.

If your using it, was it hard to get it installed and working?

I've got it running for two years now on a Sun Netra box running Solaris 9

I just used the compile instructions as shown in the elog admin manual

Here the Makefile I used

#
# Simple makefile for elogd
#
# S. Ritt, May 12th 2000
# install/clean section by Th. Bullinger, Apr. 26th, 2002
#
# add "-DHAVE_CRYPT" and "-lcrypt" to use crypt() function
#

CC = gcc
LIBS =
CFLAGS = -L/usr/lib/ -ldl -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lsocket
#CFLAGS = -g -O
EXECS = elog elogd elconv
DESTDIR = /usr/local/bin
SDESTDIR = /usr/local/sbin
MANDIR = /usr/local/man

INSTALL = /usr/bin/install
RM = /bin/rm

ifeq ($(OSTYPE),solaris)
CC = gcc
#LIBS = -lsocket -lnsl
#CFLAGS =
INSTALL = /usr/ucb/install
RM = /usr/bin/rm
endif

ifeq ($(OSTYPE),darwin)
CC = cc
endif

all: $(EXECS)

%: src/%.c
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $< $(LIBS)

install: $(EXECS)
        $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -o bin -g bin elog elconv $(DESTDIR)
        $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -o bin -g bin elogd $(SDESTDIR)
        $(INSTALL) -m 0644 man/elog.1 man/elconv.1 $(MANDIR)/man1/
        $(INSTALL) -m 0644 man/elogd.8 $(MANDIR)/man8/

clean:
        -$(RM) *~ $(EXECS)

Not at all.
Just read the manual and it just works.
If you are having problems just read this "forum" the get the answers.

Hi All,

I am interested to have ELOG installed in my QNAP x86 based NAS (239 Pro II)
Have someone done this already or is there a write-up of a normal compile-procedure which I can have as a base when I attempt to compile?

Regards,

Per

I solved it.
I don't really know if I really needed to compile it but I complied this on the NAS itself so now it is 100% compatible (I believe)
