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)

Thanks Stefan, 

I understand that and the registry entry that I use (for the service) is what I had quoted below.

[quote="Grant Jeffcote"]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.[/quote]

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?

Yes, I get the same error. Shell substitution does not work when elogd is started as a service. This is a problem deep inside the service management of

I have found the way to get it work properly.

Dear All,

I have got very good feedback from my colleagues about Elog logbook which I have made at my work since October 2006. The tool is going to use improving.
