This is one of the rare cases where it helps to read the manual: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html#add (You may need to upgrade to elog 2.9)

If you want to replace the old URLs with the new ones, you can edit the logbook files with the entries. The attached script allows you to do so easily. But be careful, try it on a copy of your data first.

Hi all

I have setup an logbook that executes a number of shell scripts to preset attributes and append standart information, which works great. Now I am trying to daemonise the whole thing. I have tried the -D option as well as daemontools. In both cases the logbook itself is functional but the bash scripts do not get executed.

Any ideas how I can resolve this problem?

Martin

Usually the problem comes from the fact that a daemon runs from the root directory ('/') by definition. I might not find your scripts if they are not in the path. Try to call them explicitly with the ful path like "/usr/local/elog/script.sh".

By default, elog enties are sorted by their ID number.  When viewing a logbook in Full or Summary, they are
shown in strict order of ID.  In Threaded, entries are shown in strict order of ID for the latest entry of each
thread, and then previous entries (in reply to) back from the latest one.  

In collapsed mode, it is only the starting entry of each thread is shown (or the latest one if "collapse to
last" chosen, but that's a detail).

I have a couple of logbooks where I'd like the default sorting to be by another numeric attribute that I enter. 

Now this works fine in Full or Summary mode.  In threaded mode (e.g. default for this forum, where every entry
is shown but are grouped by thread), it works in as much as all the entres are there and in order, but it
doesn't quite look the same as when sorting by ID - the replies are not each offset further right beneath the
entry it is in reply to, but all just slightly offset to the first entry.  

If you try to [completely] collapse the threaded mode to just one line per threaded topic - it doesn't.  Looks
(almost) the same as threaded.

I was hoping to get the list of entries collapsed to one line per thread, in order of the numeric attribute, but
I cannot seem to get this to happen.   Have I missed something here?  Or is it possible at all?

This is not possible at the moment, but I will add it to the wish list.

 I didn't know that. Thanks for the quick response. I have it working now :)

OK, Thanks Stefan.
