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 
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. |

Stefan, this is a great idea (thanks An).
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)
Thx

You probably run two servers in parallel. If you install the standard windows package, an elogd service is created and started. If you open a command window and run elogd manually, you have it running twice, and you never know to which instance your browser connects to. So first start the server with net stop elogd and then open the command window and start elogd manually. |

I've noticed teh same in Outlook and attribute it to MS' attempt to deal with HTML -- this was not an issue until a recent Outlook upgrade at our company.
The problem is with Outlook and MS' email clients.

| Steve Jones wrote: | | Stefan, any chance of having an option that eliminates the ability of new users to pick the logbooks they can register with? I would like to limit this to the "admin" user to pick per individual. |
The logbook list new users can register with is exactly the list the users have access to. So if you omit a logbook there, they can later just go to that logbook, hit config, and add themselves. If you want to prevent a user from getting notifications from a logbook, prevent user access to that logbook, like a new top group.

Not at the moment. It would take days of work which I don't have right now. Much more than what it takes you editing the password file in an editor  |

Hmm, by default all users have access to all logs. What I have setup is an announcement logbook and I would simply like to send to all registered users the email when announcements happen. My thought was to simply not allow people to pick which logbooks to "register" with and default to the Announcements logbook. I went ahead and hacked the password file and simply set all accounts to subscribe to all logbooks

I try to email by using a email text file to reduce the admin work.
- MOptions Team = EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA, AMERICA
- Email Team EUROPE = $shell(type C:\EuropeEmailList.txt)
but i get always Email sent to Shell execution not enabled via -x flag
Is this feature not supported by ELOG or did i use the wrong syntax?
Thank you in advance. |

Yes, i did it. But the problem is still there.
I exactly tried 50 times by submit a new entry and got only 3 times passed. 47 another cases i got:
"Error sending Email via "192.168.2.20": 5.5.2 Need Rcpt command".
I run elogd -v and see:
"Email Team EUROPE to Shell execution not enable via -x flag" |
| Steve Jones wrote: |
Well, it looks like you are getting the text "Shell execution not enable via -x flag" put into the EUROPE attribute then the email server is attempting to send email to the email address "Shell execution not enable via -x flag", which is clearly not a valid address thus the "Error sending Email via "192.168.2.20": 5.5.2 Need Rcpt command".
You need to run run "elogd -v -x" then look for the errors. You also might try a more simpler test like "Preset Team EUROPE = = $shell(type C:\EuropeEmailList.txt)" and then see what is returned. It makes it simpler and removes the email error from the equation.

That's a very interesting idea of setting up mailing lists I never thought about. I tried myself and it works fine. Just as Steve says run "elogd -v -x" to see what happens. Also make sure that EuropeEmailList.txt contains only a single line with comma-separated email addresses, just as you would enter them in the config file. |
I tested many times and find out the problem.
