If your server would run on Linux, then the configuration below would just do what you've asked for:

Attributes = X
List change X = $shell(if [ -z "$X" ] ;then echo "";else echo "X";fi)

But since shell scripting is operating system dependent, you'll need to figure out yourself how to do it in Windows.

You should check if the directory /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo belongs to the right user and has the right write permissions.

Since the elogd process belongs to the user "nobody", the directory should best belong to "nobody" as well (or - not recommended - allows write access for "others")

The process elogd runs as the user "nobody". This user obviously cannot write to /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

But apparently you've created the wrong directory anyway: you've listed /usr/local/elog/demo, but ELOG looks for /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

Sorry, it was my mistake while copying  from terminal to the email .  There is no "demo" directory under /usr/local/lib.

Tapasis-MacBook-Pro:elog tapasi$ cd  /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo

Tapasis-MacBook-Pro:demo tapasi$ ls -ltr

total 0

drwxr-xr-x   3 tapasi  admin   102 Sep 22 11:00 2001

drwxr-xr-x  55 503     admin  1870 Dec 17 13:21 2015

drwxr-xr-x   2 tapasi  admin    68 Jan  7 14:54 2016

 

So, how can I change the user from "nobody" to my name, so that elogd runs in my user name ?

Thanks

Use

usr = <user anme>

in elogd.cfg as written in the documentation.

I answer myself... Modify the value of width=100% in the class .listtitle2 in the .css file.

Good night,

I would be grateful if someone could indicate me, how could I increase the size of the block where the text of the atribute are in the summary mode.I would like, for example, increase the size of the "subject" you can see on the picture.

Thank you so much!!!
