I'm not sure I understand your question correctly.

If you want to remove options from an extendable option attribute, then you can just edit the logbook configuration file.

Hello,

We have accumulated some duplicate 'types' in one of our logbooks.  Is it possible to merge them?

Thanks,

We do run ELOG on a Linux server and see about weekly crashes, too. It seems to be connected to the authentication process (Kerberos, File), but we could not nail it down yet.

But we have set up a supervision process that checks every minute if the "elogd" process is still running. If not, it simply restarts it.

If ELOG is down for two minutes a week, this is fine for our users.

We have always had issues with eLOG crashing intermittently...  I upgraded from Server 2003 to Server 2008 about a year ago to try to reduce the issues...  which really didn't help.

The service now seems to crash every week...  (getting worse)...  Is anyone seeing these issues in Windows servers?  Any suggestions??

It would be new to me if elog would support independent [global] sections for each logbook.
I thought you can only have one [global] section. Whatever is defined in that section will be valid for all logbooks.

If you need to have different user files, you'll need to run different elogd services with independent config files (and Password files).

Aparently I've missed that one :-)

In order to test your problem it would be useful to have a minimal config file to reproduce the problem. Yours does not include any actual logbook, only [global *] sections.

    icon2.gif   Re: cannot use "use email heading", posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Jun 14 14:33:40 2016 

The setting

Use Email Heading

is only used for plain text encoding of email messages. The default is HTML encoding, which has its own heading which cannot be changed. If you want the different heading, use

Email encoding = 1

and you get it.

There are two menus, one for the list display, and one for the individual entry display. To change the first, you need

List menu commands = ...
Guest list menu commands = ...

Hello,

I am trying to set up my elog to have read-only guest access and require registration/password for users to be able to post to the elog. I've tried following the instructions here: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/faq.html#6, i.e. putting the following lines under the [global] section of my elogd.cfg file:

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help

 

When I do this, I do get guest acccess, however the menu items are

New |  Find |  Select |  Import |  Config |  Logout |  Last day |  Help 

rather than the List, Find, Login, Help I would expect. Also, if I click on Logout, it simply does nothing, which means there's now no way to log in as a registered user.

Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

 

Thanks,

Greg
