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
The reason why im asking if it can be done using the Execute option is because I need to have the message id of the entry that was submitted and in an external script i dont have access to the variable
Stefan, I am not an expert in this field so I wondered how one goes about finding someone to write this and how one amends the soruce code? Is that allowed? Is it a feature than may be of use for other users? Julian
Unfortunately elog cannot do calculations based on certain fields. You could however add some Javascript code (via "Bottom text = ..." for example), which does that. But that requires JavaScript knowledge to do so.
See drawing below: We have a beam on and a beam off time. We want to fill in the lost time automaticaaly. Please can you help? Julian
Please advise on how to set up selective email notification on logbooks; We want to send an email to specific people when an event that involves them is entered?
At the moment, we currently get an email entry for every new logbook entry. Thanks
Hi Stephan I got it to work for some reason elog was complaining that my encoding of the message wasnt allowed. I allowed the lognook to allow ELcode and it works perfectly.
Thank you for the help.
Yes I can it works perfectly from the browser.
This indicates that the username/password is not correct. Can you log in to that logbook in your browser with the username "John" and password "Blue"?
Hi Stephan
The error message I get is "Error: Command Submit not allowed". I dont know if this might be an issue but it says Response Recieved: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in the first line of the servers response
Run the elog command with an additional -v flag (verbose output), and you will see what the elogd server return. It's HTML, but you should be able to see some error message.
Good Afternoon
Im trying to automatically post an entry using information saved in a text file. I have followed the example in the users guide but i always seem to get a error message saying transmission failed. Lets say for instance I have a user named John and his password is Blue and he wants to log into a logbook called home from a textfile the command im using to log a message from the file is
elog -h localhost -p 8080 -u John Blue -l home -a Author=John -m textfile
I cant seem to figure out why i keep getting this error message. I even tried deleting the password file because i thought it might be an authentication issue.
Can anybody assist me please it would be much appreciated.
