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.
Regards

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 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.

running more then one shell command when new entries is submitted, posted by kenzo Abrahams on Tue Oct 27 11:03:49 2015

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

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
