 | Jaime Duran | jduran@yorku.ca | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.0-2 | elogd crashes with a URL | URL causes elogd to crash when a global password file name doesn't match any group's password file name.
The offending URL is copied from the address field of the browser after sorting a logbook by on of the fileds.
After login out and using the copied URL, elogd shows the authentication dialog and then crashes after the credentials are submited.
Some debugging point me to a NULL pointer on the following instruction in line 25502 of elogd.c :
if (lbs->pwd_xml_tree) {
The work around was to name the global password file as the password file of one of the groups. |

 | Jose Caballero | jcaballero.hep@gmail.com | Question | Linux | 3.1.4 | testing the client: unclear it worked | Hello,
I just gave it a quick try to the command line client, to see if I can use it to access our institution service.
[root@host ~]# cd /tmp/
[root@host ~]# mkdir elog
[root@host ~]# cd elog
[root@host ~]# wget https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@host ~]# rpm2cpio elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
[root@host ~]# cd usr/local/bin/
[root@host ~]# ./elog --help
[root@host ~]# ./elog -h <hostname> -l <logbook> -u <myusername> <mypassword> -w last
"Message successfully transmitted, ID=-1"
Is that the expected output? I was expecting to see info about the latest message in the server.
Cheers,
Jose |

 | Jose Caballero | jcaballero.hep@gmail.com | Question | Linux | 3.1.4 | Re: testing the client: unclear it worked | Sorry for the late reply. I didn't get email notification about an answer to my question :)
Actually, I just wrote <hostname> and so on for privacy. In my attempt, they have real values.
And yet, I got as result: "Message successfully transmitted, ID=-1".
Follow up question: do I really need to install everything even though I only want the client? Or is there somewhere a package just with the client code?
Thanks

The <hostname> you have to actually replace with your real host name. Same for logbook, username and password.
On my local test system I get (actual password hidden here with "...")
~$ elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l demo -u stefan ... -a Authort=SR -a Subject=test test
Message successfully transmitted, ID=5

| Jose Caballero | jcaballero.hep@gmail.com | Question | Linux | 3.1.4 | Unclear how to use the command line tool /usr/bin/elog | Hello,
I am trying first time to use the tool /usr/bin/elog. From the documentation is not clear to if everything must be in quotes or not, if every attribute requires -a.
Here is how my attempt looks like (changing actual data by fake one):
/usr/bin/elog -h elog-1.matrix.com -l LogBook -u jcaballero mypassword -a Team='Team Name Here' Category='Category Here' -a 'Affected service'='Name of affected service here' -a Criticality=Normal -a 'Oncall Documentation'='No modifications required' -a Subject='here is the subject line' 'here is the text'
I just get "Error transmitting message".
Attributes Team and Category are of checkbox type. Attributes Criticality and Oncall Documentation are of radio type.
What is wrong with my command attempt?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers,
Jose

If you use HTTPS, you have to connect to port 443 of your server, using the "-p" option.
Furthermore, you run under an Apache server, right? How do you do the redirecting to elogd? I guess you specified a subdir in the URL named /LogBook to redirect to elogd. The you use another part of the URL to select the logbook, which again might be "LogBook". Is that correct? So your full URL in the browser would be https://elog-1.matrix.com/LogBook/LogBook. If that's the case, you have to tell the elog tool that you use a subdir in the URL using the "-d" option.

I am just reusing an entry I created via web, so the attributes are correct. Nothing is missing, correct spelling, etc. I keep trying.
BTW, I have just realized that the output of "elog -h" does not "man log", which is the one I have been using so far. Which one is correct?
