The "/var/run/elogd.pid" file is created from elogd to indicate under which PID it is running. If you run elogd once under root, this file then belongs to root. If you afterwards run it under a user account, it cannot delete or change the file belonging to root. In that case, just delete that file manually.

When a process starts via the normal startup process it is started as root then the process changes to run as nobody -- so the pid file will always be owned by root. Yes? Then, shell commands wil not be able to deal with the pid file, right? Why would the shell exec want to deal with the PID file anyway?

Just curious. As long as this does not pose a problem then I will nto worry about it.

I don't know if that works. Why don't you just try?

Hi,

I am currently trying to configuring elog top groups, which are supposed to separate from each other. However, I would like to have a common logbook that should be visible in each group. Is there a way to share logbooks among Top Groups for example

Top Group Electronics = Elec1, Elec_EEE, Ele2

Top Group Processing  = P_AA1, PPP2, Elec_EEE

Top Group Monitoring = Mon1, Mon2, Mon3, Mon4

Top Group Data = Data1, PPP2, Data2

I would like logbook to be viewed:

  • Electronics:
    • Elec1
    • Elec_EEE
    • Ele2
  • Processing:
    • P_AA1
    • PPP2
    • Elec_EEE
  • Monitoring:
    • Mon1
    • Mon2
    • Mon3
    • Mon4
  • Data:
    • Data1
    • PPP2
    • Data2
    • Mon3
    • Mon4

Could you please suggest me if it is possible to set in this way (Color codes t show the common sharing).

Many thanks and regards,

satyajit

Hi,

I tried without success. Logbook is not sharing, it is displaying only under one "Top Group" whereever it appears first.

With regards,

Hi Satyajit,
I think you've just answered your own question. There is no magic switch - as far as I know - that would change that behaviour.

Probably there are ways to achieve your desired behaviour (using mirror servers and synchronising the logbooks) but that would require a large effort and would make your installation a lot more complicated.

With kind regards, Andreas

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

Best wishes,
Sebastian

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 and shortcuts on windows with no luck.  I was able to install elog into my mounted nextcloud folder, but this isn't ideal as I would like this to work from multiple computers.

Any ideas or thoughts on how I can do this (if I can actually do this)?

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.
