Top Text and Bottom Text only show "text" --- no files, posted by Steve Jones on Thu Aug 31 21:46:15 2006

| Just compiled 2.6.2-1714 and "Top text" and "Bottom text" interpret everything as "text" --- nothing is interpreted as a file to be included, unless there is a new syntax. |
SVN1714 will not run in 'daemon" mode on Solaris8, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Sep 18 20:35:44 2006

| On Solaris, SVN1714 will not go into daemon mode. Running the compiled version under TRUSS (which provides a dump of every system call) and shows precisely where elog is failing. I have attached two TRUSS outputs: one where it errors out and the other where it runs but "interactively". Both runs are as root, simply one with and one without the "-D" |

Interesting behavior with $shell, posted by Steve Jones on Fri Oct 27 19:11:32 2006
|
eLog does not do math so I am trying to leverage the $SHELL function to perform the math. I am using GAWK to perform the math -- I started trying to use CONDITIONAL ATTRIBUTES to assign numeric values to attributes but with loading up the ATTRIBUTES with all of the options brings elog to its knees in terms of performance -- the parsing of attributes is simply too string intensive.
So, I embedded the numeric score in the OPTIONS of the ATTRIBUTE and leveraged the text processing prowess of GAWK:
Options WhoIsEffected = 1:...Single User, 5:...Project, 10:...Department, 50:...Site
Options ServiceOutage = 1:...0-1 Minutes, 2:...10 Minutes, 10:...20 Minutes, 30:...30 Minutes, 100:...gt60
Then pass the following command to GAWK:
Preset TotalScore = $shell(gawk 'BEGIN{split(\"$WhoIsEffected:$ServiceOutage\",scores,\":\");print scores[1]+scores[3]}' )
The interesting result is this works - the proper summation is returned but apparently elog parsing also returns everything after the first ')' as something that also needs to be returned. So the resulting contents of TotalScore is 2;print scores[1]+scores[3]}' ) assuming one chose the first option of both attributes (the output pasted here are real results).
Before getting to this point I tried using the GAWK internal variable of $0 - but this did not work because apparently $0 in elog is defined as the OS shell!
Stefan, is it possible for you to try creating a logbook on the elog demo site that shows people how to perform math and in the process discover what the $SHELL function is doing? |

Bug? Password file location changed, posted by David Spindler on Thu Nov 2 18:02:44 2006
|
I just tried to upgrade from 2.6.1-1633 to 2.6.2-1734. Whenever I tried to access the elog, it showed my password to be invalid. I tried this on 2 machines and same results. I did notice on the second one when I started it from a command prompt that it was creating a new empty password file in a different location.
I have a password file called pwd.txt. It resides in the main elog directory, in my case, c:\elog, along with the elgod.exe and elogd.cfg. Apparently, the new version looks for it in the logbooks directory. I adjusted my path to the file and it works fine.
I am reporting this as a bug because it is my guess that this is not an expected result. I would expect the old elogd.cfg file to work without altering in the newer version.
Thanks, keep up the great work, Stefan. You have a great program.

ELOG Crash by many email address, posted by An Thai on Fri Jan 12 15:28:46 2007

Hello,
when I try to set above 112 email addresses in
"Email All = ..."
the Elog service will crash with the error ntdll.dll or memory addresses x0000000.
This problem does not happen when I reduce the number of email addresses.
Have you had the same problem? |

Bug, posted by Robert-Jan Schrijvers on Thu Mar 1 15:55:52 2007

when i was editting my Admin file, by mistake i typed the next line:
[a}Options Sessies = p-zis-pr1{1}, p-szh-pro{2}, p-dia-pro{3}, a-zis-ac1{1}, a-zis-ac2{2}, a-dia-acc{3}, ---------------------, Anders
{b} Options Sessies = FSC Pro{4}, FSC Acc{4}, Risc/Bus/Sms Pro{5}, Risc/Bus/Sms Acc{5}, ---------------------, Anders
{c} Options Sessies = BAO, BEH, BAOMPSO, BEHMPSO, Demonstrator, AFS, PTG, BSN, ---------------------, Anders
{d} Options Sessies = Wijziging, Storing
the next thing happened was that eLog created a new log which wasn't editable at all, the only thing i could do was deleting it (i created a monster...;-)
The first line/rule with the [ become the title, all other entries in the Admin file were used as a new Admin file. |

"Guest menu commands" not changing the menu line, posted by Steve Jones on Wed Mar 28 21:00:17 2007
|
I tried adding the lines below to my Global section, and while Guest access is turned on the menu line does not change. I tried searching SVN change logs for a comment regarding any 'guest' bugs but found nothing. Was this a problem at some point and fixed? I noticed that the Midas site is running 2.6.4-1814 and the guest menus work! Am I doing something wrong or was this a problem in the past?
Thanks!
