All paths are absolute and file permissions set to 'everyone'. 'Preset text' results in the contents of the text file being shown so access doesn't seem to be the problem here. Can you reproduce this?

Thx & rgrds

The problem I have is that when Elog is started as a service using the -x switch then the shell command using An's mail list suggestion does not work? Starting the elogd daemon manually (ie using the command prompt) does work.


When elogd runs as a service, it needs all paths to be absolute, like having the full c:\dir\subdrir\.... Do you have this? What about file access permission? You can try to do a Preset text = <file> with your email list, to see if elogd can actually access this file at all.

Is there a way to print a summary of all (or selected) log books on a scheduled basis, say like every morning @ 7:00 am? I would like a printed copy of our daily logs (24 hr period). Thanks Eric

You can obtain the last 24hr period with the parameter last=1. Following command will return this last day for the forum

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?printable=1&last=1

Now you need to set up some script which calls this once a day and then convinces the browser to print that page. But I have no idea how to perform this.

Another option is to print the xxxxxxa.log files of the elogd server directly. There is already one file per day, and the original reason for that is exactly what you ask for: You can print each day directly. Now you need a script which searched for the last day and prints that.

Yes, I get the same error. Shell substitution does not work when elogd is started as a service. This is a problem deep inside the service management of Windows and I do not know any solution for that. Sorry.

I have found the way to get it work properly.

  • Open services management (Right click My Computer -> Manage -> Services & Applications -> Services)
  • Change elogd statup type to Manual. ->> SORRY: It should be set to Disable !!!
  • Create *.bat file in the folder ELOG with Notepad. Type elogd -x in the file.
  • Create a Scheduled Task (Start -> Programs - Accessories - System Tools -> Scheduled Tasked). Run Add Scheduled Task . A Wizard will be openned.
  • Click Next -> Browser -> open your ELOG folder and select your created *.bat -> select radio button "When my computer starts" -> Next -> type your admin password for the computer -> select Open advanced properties for this task when I click finish.
  • Restart your computer

Good luck!


This setting has worked great since a month.

Hi,

Is there a way of having $long_name in 'Moptions'?

We use ELOG (amongst other things!) to allocate work out to Developers (who are all configured as ELOG users) I would like to use 'checkbox' functionality to allocate out a task to more than one developer. Currently only a single developer is chosen from a drop down list.

Thanks
Fergus

This was not possible until now, so I implemented the option
Type <attribute> = muserlist

which gives you checkboxes (= multi-userlist) for all users instead of a drop down list. This feature is implemented starting from revision 1758 and it will be contained in the next release of elog.

WowThat was quick, I'll implement this morning. Many thanks for introducing this, ELOG is such a good tool.

Many Thanks
