If you Google for "libssl.so.6 is needed", you will find for example this site: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2096126 , which tells you to install the libssl-dev package.

Can you provide simliar guidance for Scientific Linux release 6.6 (Carbon, 64 bit version) as I get the "failed dependencies" after installing

openssl-devel package and I tried linking /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.1e as libssl.so.6 in both /lib and /usr/lib ? -jph

Hey,

if you define a Tooltip at the moment it is only displayed on the attribute. I would like it very much if it would also be displayed on the values (on the right column in the detailed view and on the whole column in the list view), since we are using the tooltips to define the units of the attribute and it would be nice to pop up when you hover a value.

As for the comment it would be nice to have a flag to also show the comment on the detailed view while looking at an entry. At the moment it is only showed when creating a new entry. Again we use this field to define the units.

This is an example of how we use these options:

attributes = Fill Number, Beam Current, Beam Energy, Beam Lifetime, RF Voltage S2, RF Voltage S4, RF Frequency, Synchrotron Frequency

Comment Beam Current = in mA
Comment Beam Energy = in GeV
Comment Beam Lifetime = in hh:mm
Comment RF Voltage S2 = in kV
Comment RF Voltage S4 = in kV
Comment RF Frequency = in MHz
Comment Synchrotron Frequency = in kHz

Tooltip Beam Current = in mA
Tooltip Beam Energy = in GeV
Tooltip Beam Lifetime = in hh:mm
Tooltip RF Voltage S2 = in kV
Tooltip RF Voltage S4 = in kV
Tooltip RF Frequency = in MHz
Tooltip Synchrotron Frequency = in kHz

The "elog" command has no "append" feature. You can either create a new entry, or you can overwrite an old entry. Therefore this is not a bug but the intended bahaviour.

I admit that the documentation is misleading, since overwriting an existing entry is called "editing":

[-e <id>]                Edit existing message

I interprete your posts that you would like to have two new features for the "elog" command:

• to append text to the body of an existing entry
• to add additional attachments to an existing entry

Without a specific application in mind I would like to add a request (for consistency):

• to modify a specific attribute of an existing entry.

Cheers, Andreas

You are right. "Edit" should be more like "Replace". I changed that in the documentation.

I acknowledge the request to replace or append only a specific attribute or attachment, and put it on my to-do list.

[-e <id>]                Edit existing message

Hey,

the edit/replace feature is already capable of just replacing individual attributes. I already make heavy use of this feature:

1. One entry is created with some measurement parameters

2. A different script is running processing the measurement data making a plot and a fit

3. Two fit parameters and the attachment are added to the original elog entry (all other attributes and values still exist afterwards)

But the problem here is, that although it does work for normal attrbutes, the attachments will always be replaced (=> removed) if you use this command. Since I only add the attachment on the edit it does work for me. 

Btw the documentation on the homepage is also misleading about the -w command, since in the actual version it does nothing with any password but just reads back the whole elog entry (which I use to manually append the main message)

[-e <id>]                Edit existing message

Hi Stefan,

Good day. I'm thinking if this wishlist is already available in elog. The values in columns we're added or computed according to formula set in a single separate column.

Thanks,

Raymund
