Thanks for reporting that problem. I just implemented Suppress email on edit and this could have had some side effect. I tried however to reproduce your problem and was not able to. Trying the "minimal" configuration file, the email notifications were suppressed if the check box was checked, or if Suppress default = 3. Can you check if it works with a minimal config file, and if yes, what option in your "full" config file causes this effect? |
OK, you're absolutely correct. When I run Elog-2.6.2-1722 with a minimal 'elogd.cfg' the "Suppress default [0|1|2|3]" flag does appear to behave as expected. Taking your advice I went through my local 'elogd.cfg' evaluating items to see where the problem starts and I found a problem. In my local config file I use conditional attributes to modify the "category" and "type" fields (in the posting form) and here is what I'm finding wrong. For this example I have set "Suppress default = 3" and the following actions take place:
1.) Select "New" to begin a post and the form displays correctly with NO "[] Suppress Email notification" checkbox showing.
2.) When selecting "Category" an choosing an appropriate menu item the form is then redrawn and now there is a problem, the "[] Suppress Email notification" checkbox is displaying. The checkbox does work correctly but the behavior I'm expecting is for no checkbox to display during the composition of this posting. Am I misunderstanding the behavior of the "Suppress default = 3" flag?
3.) Each of the other flag parameters appear to work as expected as used in the above example.
I have attached screenshots that demonstrate this behavior as well as a snippet of the 'elogd.cfg' file.
Hope this helps a little...
Thanks, Greg |

Yepp it helped. I could reproduce your problem and fix it. Can you try elog262-4.exe (Revision 1729)? |

Hi Stefan!
Just installed elog-2.6.2-1729 and it's working perfectly. I haven't had enough time to test it thoroughly yet but will report any problems I might find. As always thanks for your excellent work, I appreciate it.

We have been running elog for a couple of years now and this morning it stopped working.
We have tried to rstart it and it says successful start but still does not run, when doing a restart it says stop failed start success.
Does anyone have any ideas.
thanks

You shoudl start elogd interactively in a DOS box to see if there is any error. Maybe disk full or a network problem... |

It is running on a linux box, we have started in it in a telnet session, and no errors appear, as I am new to e-log is there an error log anywhere. |

I don't know if you can get elog to generate a log file - check the documentation, I don't bother. But I do have some experience with this matter.
There are two related circumstances I know of that can arise which will cause elog to crash.
As you are probably aware, the entries are threaded. I find the main problem is if you move a long thread - I forget the number but over 30 entries - from one log book to another, it will copy across fine, but the deletion of the thread from the source logbook will crash elog *before* the entire thread has been deleted: cause 1.
If you then restart elog, and happen to access the partially deleted thread, elog will run into a loop. You won't be able to access elog, and you will see it is burning up CPU time, and it probably will eventually crash, but normally I find what the process number is and kill it (with "kill -9 [process no]"). This is cause 2. The reason is that elog is looking for an entry number in the thread that no longer exists (because elog has already deleted it).
There is a moderately convoluted way I have devised to completely delete the partially deleted thread, needing access to the yymmdda.log files. Cause 2 can also occur if someone manually edits yymmdda.log files with insufficient care (that includes me on occasion).

Dear all,
I have elog version 3.12-bd75964 installed on an Ubuntu OS. We started working with it yesterday and today I was informed that the users could not connect to the elog. When I tried it was also not possible to get to the elog website. After restarting the Ubuntu machine everything was back to normal.
Is there a log I can check to find out why the elog stopped working?
Regards,
John
