If the logbook files are getting big, searching text in entries can take quite some time. But if you have a log file logging all activities, that should
not slow down elog since the server just appends at the end of that file which is a quick operation.

My config files are often large and use some shell scripting. In these shell scripting part I interact with files and execute scripts in specific folder.
It would be nice to have the ability to define for example a file path once and reuse it in different parts of the config file. It would help to
make config files cleaner. For example:

While running two e-log books that were mirrored, I ended up with the situation of two entries with the same number/id.  The mirroring did what
it said it would, increment the local logbook entry and grab the entry from the remote logbook. However, when it did, it did not preserve the fields in
the log book that are specified in the config file such as "Author", "Priority", "Subject" ect.  I ended up with a very

Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible to have a shared logbook and elog.cfg between multiple instances of elog.  Ideally, I'd like
to have my logbooks folder and elog.cfg hosted on a nextcloud instance while running the elog service locally.  I've tried this using symlinks

Hi Anthony,

the elog has a mirroring function, which synchornizes config and logs between multiple instances.
See the bottom section of https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html

Thank you Sebastian!

I admittidely haven't looked through the page in a while, so I completely missed this feature.  This should solve the problem, although
in a slightly different implementation than what I was trying for.
