    icon3.gif   Re: notification error services in CentOS 6.5, posted by Darren Hollinrake on Sun Sep 18 03:31:42 2016 elogd_modified

The quick fix I found was to uncomment line 10 in the init.d file. (This was tested on a CentOS 6.8 AWS instance.)

. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

This will allow the status command to function properly.

Clean install:

[centos@ip-172-31-51-59 ~]$ service elogd status
status: invalid option: -p
 

After uncommenting line 10:

[centos@ip-172-31-51-59 ~]$ service elogd status
elogd (pid  11438) is running...

When you start elog it still won't show that the service started successfully (No 'OK'). If you go to stop the service, it will give you the proper 'OK' indicating it stopped successfully.

So to fix the missing 'OK' (or 'FAILED') we need to update the start section around line 51 as follows:

          touch /var/lock/subsys/elogd
        echo_success
        else
        echo_failure
        fi
        echo
        ;;
 

I've attached my modified init file which I believe corrects the above issues. I will say though that I'm not a programmer so I won't guarantee it's perfect. I haven't checked to see if CentOS 7 works with this modified version. Just checked it on a CentOS 7.2 AWS instance and it also appears to function correctly.

The init script supplied with elog was originally written for Redhat. It seems like CentOS has slightly changed the init daemon management, but I'm not an expert on that, nor do I have CentOS installed. If somebody comes with a fixed elogd.init for CentOS, I'm happy to include that in the distribution.

service elogd status,

always result in missing argument, while it works with httpd or mysqld services and old elogd version.

I try to uninstall and install rom scratch and same result,

Okay I give you screenshoot of that,

you may notice, on check service status and stopping services, error resulted

icon5.gif   How do I use Preset Text only when a given topic is selected?, posted by Christina winson on Wed Sep 21 18:58:18 2016 

Hi,

I'm looking to use a template for only a subset of logbook entries. Is there some way to apply a template when a specific topic or category is selected?

Help for the newbie much appreciated.

Hi Christina,
You want to use "conditional attributes". See elog:68350 for an example.
Cheers, Andreas

Entry   Using an RSS reader on a pasword protected elog, posted by Jackie Schwehr on Wed Sep 28 10:27:24 2016 

I'm trying to set up a python rss parser to read the output from my collaboration's elog, however the elog is password protected and I cannot figure out how to have a python scrip get past the login screen.  Is there something obvious I'm missing that will allow a parser to submit a username and password? If that's too python-specific of a question for this audience, then what is the exact security method elog uses, so I can get information on that?  I've read through the documentation and either I don't know what I'm reading (likely) or I'm not looking in the right spot.

icon6.gif   calculate diff of 2 date(s), posted by Alex Kühnel on Wed Sep 28 18:48:04 2016 

hi

I have an elogsystem for documenting emergency services. I have a starttime and an endtime. Is it possible to calculate the diff between the 2 timestamps and convert it to minutes?

 

Attributes = Bereitschafts Kalender Woche, Bereitschafts Woche, Einsatzbeginn, Einsatzende, Einsatzzeit, Telefon Nummer, Station, Status, Problem 
Options Status= Offen{1}, Erledigt{2}, Geschlossen{3}

......

Type Einsatzbeginn = datetime
Type Einsatzende = datetime

....

Subst Einsatzzeit  = $shell(Einsatzende - Einsatzbeginn) 

 

regards
