In that case it might help to run elog under your personal account.


I finaly found how to do it.

Replacing Z: by \\server.com\ELOG\ and running the service with my personnal acount


cmd /K net stop elogd

regedit
change ImagePath of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\elogd to "\\server.com\ELOG\elogd.exe" -D -c "\\server.com\ELOG\elogd.cfg"
close regedit

cmd /k net start elogd

ELOG does not provide you with a simple mechanism to rename attributes in existing entries.
If you rename an attribute in the configuration, then you need to adapt all existing entries by replacing the name in all *a.log files on the server.
Or you could set-up a second logbook with the renamed attributes, export all entries from the first logbook (use "Find") and import these entries in the second logbook.

Hello, I have configuration file that already set on running logbook

If I just simply change category, or other option, when I log in on logbook, It wont show as I though. When I change back to original setting, it will show

How to change setting in configuration properly, so It will show and logbook still consistent using the new category and other option I just set.

thanx for the help

ELOG is storing all entries as text files. Open text files and use search and replace in text editor. Or instead: export with Find and import in another ELOG with renamed attributes.

Hello @all,

with "Selection page = ..." I can link to an self defined selection page for the systems.
As I understand it must be an static page, or how is it possible to define the content based
on the available logbooks or groups?

Regards
Holger


Yes it must be a static page.

I want to know if there were some way to insert a screen shot directly into the log book instead of going through the "save-attach" procedure. i.e. add some plug in button to do this under Linux?

Or, can I just make a plain log file "xxxx.log" and put it into the directory? Will that work?

Thanks

You cannot directly paste a screen shot into an elog entry. Use HoverSnap (Windows) or ksnapshot (linux) to produce directly an image file, then you need only two mouse clicks (browse and select file). There is also an Add-On for FireFox called "dragdropupload" which can be used for drag-and-drop a file into the attachment file selector.

 I see. But what I want to do now is writing a script to make a elog entry, is that possible? I mean, I don't know if the log entry I generated could be recognized by elog.  e.g. the following text is generated by me, no through elog, is there a way to let them shown on elog?

 For what you need you can use the "elog" utility, as described in https://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html at the bottom. Using the "-f" option you can add attachments there.
