I don't know if you can get elog to generate a log file - check the documentation, I don't bother. But I do have some experience with this
matter.
There are two related circumstances I know of that can arise which will cause elog to crash. |

Hi,
First up, the Copy command is supposed to be used to copy to another log book, as it says in the documentation, not a duplicate entry in the
same logbook. I've tried doing a copy into the same logbook, it appears to work (although I don't know about every circumstance, I just did |

I have experience of elog hanging (under linux). I'll describe my situation, although it may not apply to you. I still use elog 2.9.2
but I am unaware of this issue ever being resolved although I have mentioned it in the past. (Possibly because I'm one of the few who has this
situation). I certainly recall other person had this as the problem, and my reply on this forum solved their problem. The cause is the following: |

Hi Alan,
Just to be clear (and for others) if any entry is a reply to a previous one, such as this one is to yours, then there will be "Reply to"

Hi Michael,
Elog purists, look away now.
There is an "official" way to do this, which is to have fields for entry date (so can be in the past), but the yymmdda.log file will |

As a regular elog (ab)user, I have seen this behaviour from time to time. So far as I recall, the cause actually is that a normal entry is looking
for the entry in the "Reply to" field of the normal entry in the yymmdda.log file. When that entry does not exist, then I see a duplicate
line of an entry with entry "#0", in emboldened black type. I did have a screenshot, but cannot find it for now. |

Re: Unwanted double entries eg. double clicking submit button, posted by David Pilgram on Wed Feb 13 10:58:37 2019

I too have this as an occasional issue, although in my case due to a dodgy pointer. I too manually delete the entries.
Interestingly, it gives double entries - and thus the start of a branch - even in logbooks were branches are not allowed.
