Thanks, I did so.

Oops! I 're-used' the '-s' flag for email suppression, so it was actually 
double used. I changed the email supprssion flag to '-p', so '-s' should 
work again for specifying subdirectories.

So I fixed all compiler generated warnigns except these:

[midas@pc2075 ~/elog]$ gcc -g -O -W -Wall -o elogd src/elogd.c

Do you know how to disable these warnings or any other workaround? I would 
like to compile without any remaining warnings.

Sure, I'm not stupid! I looked for ~10 minutes how to turn off the remaining 
warnings, but I could not find it. The code is now correct, like I do want the 
"%y" format specifier in the strftime() function, but the warning is wrong. The 
closest I came to was 

-W -Wall -Wno-format

which removes ther warning in strftime(), but I do want this warning, since it 
helps in many other printf() statements.

Noee. Here it works immediately.

Can you try with a fresh server from the distribution, with the example 
elogd.cfg, to see if there is any difference?

The killing is handled in the funciton ctrlc_handler(), which sets _abort = 
TRUE. This  is checked in line 16195, just after the select(), and the main 
loop is exited. The select finishes after one second, although I believe 
that the kill signal also terminates the select prematurely. The kill 
command and a Ctrl-C keystroke should work the same way, they both generate 
a SIGTERM or SIGINT signal.

I have added that functionality according to your request. In elogd.cfg, you 
can specify

List Display = ID, Edit, Delete, Date, Author, ... <other attributes>

which gives you two colums, one to edit and entry and one to delete one. See 
the attached picture. I presume that's what you want. This works on the 
newest version 

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/src/elogd.c?rev=1.272

and you need the two icons

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/themes/default/edit.gif?rev=1.1
http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/themes/default/delete.gif?rev=1.1

to be put under your elog/themes/default/ directory. Or you wait for the 
next official release (;-)

This can be easily achieved with the configuration option

Start page = ?sort=<attribute>

or

Start page = ?rsort=<attribute>

where <attribute> is your date.

In your case, you need the URL

http://www.familienhund.ch:8080/Aktuelles+Programm/?sort=Datum+wann

which can be obtained via

Start page = ?sort=Datum+wann

All I can offer is send me your config file for the problematic logbook, and 
I will try to reproduce the error.
