This is not implemented right now, since the SMTP server at our institute does
not use authentication, so I could not test it. If you give me access to a
SMTP server with authentication, I could implement it.
  1067   Sat Apr 9 06:07:42 2005 Question David Egolfdegolf@fujicolor.comQuestionWindows2.5.8-3Selective emails
I have a question about sending emails. I have a customer service ELog 
currently running but I would like to have an option to be able to pick 
from a list of people, one or more than one to send emails to with the 
logbook entry as the body.  I am currently using the email option to send 
emails to a list if an emergency is used in a category but I would like to 
be able to send the entry to different people at different times.  I would 
have everyone pre-entered with their names and emails and you could check 
a box by the person or people you want the log entry sent.  I wasn't sure 
if this is possible with the current system. 

Thanks for any input.

David Egolf

PS. The emails are actually email enabled cell phones so the cs entries 
are going to drivers who pick up and drop off work for the company.

It is. Put an MOptions in you config file, and then put individual email
statements there. Like

Attributes = ..., Notify
MOptions Notify = Joe, Jack, Jim
Email Notify Joe = joe@fujicolor.com
Email Notify Jack = jack@fujicolor.com
Email Notify Jim = jim@fujicolor.com

What this does it give you a checkbox for each name. If the check box is
checked, then the corresponding email statement is executed. Note that the
email address does not have to correspond to the "Notify" value. You could also
use completely different names, like "MOptions Notify = Security, Police,
Admin", and then put some email address from specific people there.
  1077   Tue Apr 12 01:05:20 2005 Question Glevineg@med.govt.nzBug reportOther2.5.8-3XML password files, replication & FreeBSD
Ok this really is 2 questions.

1)
I have been running ELOG on FreeBSD no problem for a year now,
but this new version 2.5.8-x doesn't seem to wanna work, it compiles fine 
with a few warnings (see attached logs).
But has issues with password files, now it shows message "Can't open 
passwords.pwd" for all my logbooks. It did convert the password files to 
xml format. I had a good hard look at file permissions and config file with 
no luck. So I went back a version and compiled 2.5.7-1 which works just 
fine with old password files. So something with XML & FreeBSD?...

2)
Version 2.5.7-1 (maybe this has been fixed in 2.5.8?)
When I run a ./elogd -C http://elog.blah.here:88 it clones the config file 
just fine, also seems to copy over all logbook entries.
But once I look through them there's a fault with one of the fields it 
copies over, so entries never show up.

It should be:

For some reason it looses the "m" so line 4 instead of having
"hh:mm" has "hh: m"

Hard to say. The simplest would be if I could debug this.

Your problem is that the attribute "Work done at (dd/mm/yy hh:mm)" which
contains a ":". This character is not allowed in attributes. Unfortunately I did
not document this (and even didn't know this until now... (;-) ). So you should
use the new option

Type Work done at = datetime

this gives you at the entry mask fields for day/month/year/hour/minute to fill
out, so you don't have to write it directly into the attribute. Another option
would be to use 

Comment Work done at = Please enter as (dd/mm/yy hh:mm)

which just displays a comment below the attribute in the entry mask.

Ok, i see, the problem for me now is that this attribute name has been in use for 
half a year or so by me. So now I have 100's of logbook entries with the old name 
in them, if I change it's name then all old logbook entries will show up with that 
field blank. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to change that attribute's name in 
100's of entries in 10's of logbooks, because I wouldn't want to try doing that by 
hand.. Any ideas? (i'm no good at scripting something like that 4 sure)

Thanks,
G.

find . -name "*a.log" -exec perl -pi -e 's|Work done at (dd/mm/yy hh:mm):|Work done at:|g' {} \;

Looks a bit cryptic, but searches for all *a.log files, and starts perl to replace
all occurences of "Work done at (dd/mm/yy hh:mm)" with "Word done at:". Better try
this first with a copy of your logbook. After you successfully changed that, you
have to modify the attribute list in elogd.cfg accordingly, like

Attirbutes = ..., Work done at, ...

Please note that after each manual modification of the logbook files, you have to
restart elogd.

Sorry for the late reply btw, I've removed some information in the log (server names)

What I can see is that it sends with charset=US-ASCII, even if the characters are
non-US.

Only outlooks have problem with understanding if the subject is not mime encoded.

Ideas?
