I have attached two TRUSS outputs: one where it errors out and the other where it runs but "interactively". Both runs are as root, simply one with and one without the "-D" |
The "one where it errors out" does not look like an error. It does the "fork()" at the end and the main thread ends, that's how it's supposed to be. |
Quote: | Ok, I got it. I've attached the TRUSS output where we follow the fork. It appears that elogd cannot open any of the specified files then gives up. What was throwing me is no error output, even to STDERR. When I run the same but without the -D flag the files are opened fine.
There are also strange system calls that differ, and I thought it might be due to the setuid(60001) -nobody- but the the non-daemn mode also sets to nobody and works fine. |

I just compiled SVN1723 and tried the generic elogd.cfg -- of course *that works!*. Something in my complex config that causes elog to barf when it is attempting to fork the daemon process. To me the TRUSS output indicates that elog can't seem to find any logfile to work on -- very bizarre.

It would be good if when you uploaded an image as an attachment, there was a button next to it that pasted the code [img]elog:1972/1[/img] into the log entry. This way, it would be more easy to have inline images in a log entry. |
Just hit that button:

and it does exactly what you want. |

Yes, but if you use -e "text" it replaces the whole entry with "text". So an append option would be really useful... |

The elog command-line program has a -e switch to edit existing entries, but you need to know the ID of the entry. |

I agree that the ?) smiley is annoying, so I changed it to ?-) which should prevent it from showing up in questions in brackets. I updated this server (you can see the effect above), the modification is committed to subversion. |
Thanks a lot! I'm going to pester you though - it would be really good if there was an option to turn them off completely. Surely it can't be a huge amount of work... ? |
It's not the amount of work, it the intention to minimize the number of options. If you want a switch for the smileys, the next one wants a switch for automatic hot-linking (like http://...), the next one wants that only certain ELCode options are interpreted, not others, and then we will have a mess. By changing the ?-) definition I hope I have solved most cases without another flag. So either one has the comple ELCode set, or non. In the past I had many suggestions of new flags, which I could solve somehow otherwise. If I would not have done that, the manual would be twice as long by now... |
