  146   Wed Oct 30 19:46:56 2002 Question Philipp RuecklnoneQuestion  elog reaction is very slow
Hello,
I am running Elog V2.1.3 on Solaris 8 and I was very pleased about this 
tool.But now I have a problem: Sometimes it takes a lot of time submitting 
an entry into a logbook, up to 3 minutes. This behaviour does only occur 
sometimes. Did anyone of You experience something like this?

  1929   Thu Sep 7 22:06:00 2006 Smile Arno Teunissea.teeling3@chello.nlQuestionWindows elog perl script and the command prompt and eof
hello

Just wrote a quick and dirty perl script ( See Attachment ) that let's you enter a record into the database. Put it into the directory where the config file is located. It look's at the "attributes = " and the "required attributes = "
within a section in the elog configuration file. The script is using elog.exe to accomplish this.

One problem with the script is that you must press Control_Z ( ^Z ) to store the data into the database.
Does anybody know how to prevent this ? It works also when redirecting the data into the script with a file input.txt. ( add2elog.pl confgi.cfg logbook < input.txt )

I Know this is NOT an elog question but maybe someone is happy with the script and has the answer for me.
Attachment 1: add2elog.pl 
=pod

elog -h hostname [-p port] [-l logbook]
     [-w password]
     [-u username password]
     -a <attribute1>=<value1>
     -a <attribute2>=<value2>
     ...
     -f attachment1
     -f attachment2
     ...
     -m textfile | text



This little perlscript is intented to enter attributes into elog with elog.exe from 
the command line. 

The script checks the "attributes" and the "required attributes". When a required
attribute is needed the users sees a "*" after the attributes name.

Error: Missing required attribute "Category" 

Please Notice that I've put quotes around : -u "username password" ( the documentation shows that this is not necessary) .  But now it failes to see a required attribute.  

When I leave out the quotes in the -u part , it just hangs despite the -vvv on the server console and the -v option  used in the elog command line. Nothing happens. No output at the server debug screen. 
I'm Not using SSL , nor have i used a certificate. It's just a good old  plain html server. ( As far as i can see )

This is the main section in my config and the section I want to change :

  209   Mon Feb 10 23:05:36 2003 Entry eric wootenwootene@verizon.netQuestion  elog notification process causes the email to be truncated when going to Blackberry
Hi Stefan,

Many users have there email forward to Blackberry devices.  Although I 
wasn't aware, it appears the Blackberry has a limit (or maybe one was set) 
of how big the message can be (still checking for that though).

Previously, a modification was made that addressed the issue of slow ELOG 
response when saving the elog entry.   I think the change was for ELOG to 
generate one email and send to all the users designated to receive the 
notification.  This caused everyone to show up as "TO" addresses.

This change makes the Email header increase in size (length).  I guess the 
Blackberry counts the Header portion as part of the email size limit.

Any ideas?

Thanks, 
Eric

Hi, I rsync an elog database from CERN to TRIUMF every few months and I notice that rsync keeps copying preview files (xxx.png.png, xxx.gif.png, etc) from very old entries. I guess that elogd creates these files from scratch each time they are needed, overwriting any previously existing preview files. This creates extra rsync network traffic and rsync takes longer to complete. Is there any way to avoid this? K.O.
