Hi,

I wonder how others manage this situation because deamons in /etc/init.d is excercuted by root. So I cannot run in /etc/init.d/elogd when the system starts up.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Stefan,

I am using the Database Like - ELOG format and on the list page, the the last two columns (on the right side) are, "Text" and "Attachments (the paperclip)".

Both of which I have deleted from the input page.

Is there anyway to remove them from the List page?

Thanks,      Mike

The normal situation is that elogd gets started by root under /etc/init.d/, then the configuration file contains "Usr = elog" and "Grp = elog", so after it has been started as root, the program falls back to the "elog" user, which only has restricted rights. 

Hi,

I am trying the Preset text option from the documentation: like:

Attributes = Author, Type
Options Type = Network check{1}, System check{2}

{1} Preset text = network.txt
{2} Preset text = system.txt

I have two questions:

1. Where are the preset text files searched from ? I guess I could put them in the logbook (and specify a relative path like in this example) but it appeared only to work when I specifiy an abcolute path. That is even better in my case.

2. How do I specify line feeds in the file ? I tried Linux and Windows new line characters - but I always end up with just  one line in my e-log. I would really like a multi-line form.

Without path, the file must reside in the "scripts" subdirectory.

For the multi-line form, it depends how you want to format your elog entry. If you format in "plain", the simple line breaks are sufficient. If you format in HTML, your preset file must be in HTML as well, so a line break has to be a <br> tag. If you format in ELCode, a simple line break again would be ok. 

Are there any plans to add the new mime extensions to the elogd.c source? (Instead of forcing users to use FireFox or Right click, save-as and rename?

I have a logbook named "Centaur" (instrument name) for a problem log on an instrument and a logbook named "CentaurNewLot" for

a logbook (Database Like - ELOG format) where we would log reagent lot number changes for that instrument.

The problem is that when I name the logbooks, like I have, it screws up the formatting (List page) of the second log book.

If I rename the second logbook something totally unrelated to the first logbook my originally intended formatting returns.
