Thanks Stefan,

I understand that and the registry entry that I use (for the service) is what I had quoted below.
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.
I have other features within my configuration which use the 'execute new $shell' option which works perfectly so I know that the -x switch is functional within the service.

I can't seem to get this working when Elogd is started as a service though?
Starting elogd (-x) manually works fine and with the -v switch I can see it is operating correctly but obviously the service option is preferred.
The service ("D:\ELOG\elogd.exe" -x -D -c "D:\ELOG\elogd.cfg") is starting correctly using the -x switch (as I use the shell command for other elog options) but it doesn't seem to send the mail.
Is this a 'feature' ;o)


Sure Big grin

But seriously, elogd cannot be started as a service under windows by opening a command window and executing above command line. Under windows, it has to be installed and run as a service, which is usually done by the installer. To change it, you do that by selecting My Computer, then right mouse click and Manage, then you select Serviced and Applications, then Services, then you will see the elogd service. A double click on it opens the corresponding properties, where you will find the command line, usually

"C:\Program Files\ELOG\elogd.exe" -D -c "C:\Program Files\ELOG\elogd.cfg"

Here you have to change the command line parameters to add the -x flag. Then you stop and restart the service.

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

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.

Hi Stefan,

Is there a way to add a 'Tool Tips' to individual 'Options' similar to that currently available for Attributes? I have several checkboxes under an attribute for predefined email groups and would like to see if I can make the recipient list viewable via a mouse hover using the 'Tool tip' feature.
If not possible can it be added to the wishlist?

Many thx.

Ok, I implemented this. It is in revision 1760 and will be contained in the next release.


That's really great, thank you so much.
What will the configuration line be?

If you have
MOptions item = value_1, value_2

you can do a
Tooltip value_1 = text


Thanks Stefan,

When implemented there seems to be a finite number of characters that are visible under a tool tip, is this an OS defined limit or something that can be changed?

ELOG itself has a limit of 256 characters, but that can be changed easily. I found that Mozilla Firefox only showed 70 characters and then three dots ("..."), while Internet Explorer showed all 256 characters, wrapping words if necessary. So it strongly depends on the browser.



Thanks, we use Internet Explorer in service but I tested using Mozilla (hence above).
I'd really like to be able change the limit to more than 256 characters, is this simply a configuration parameter or a code change?

It is a code change. I increased it to 10000 chars in revision 1766, it will be contained in the next release.


Thx Stefan, I can write a book in there now! ;o))

Hi Stefan,

Many thanks for implementing this feature, it is very useful and works very well, I can't seem to get the Tooltips to show up using the 'ROptions' (radio buttons) though? Could you check if it is available for this please?

Thx
