I like the implementation, especially with the tooltip popping up anywhere in the
area.  Thanks.

Speaking of windows I'd like to note that when I moved my call tracking config from a slow BSD
system (PPro 200Mhz) to a faster windows system (P3 733M) I noted a huge slow down in the
interface.  Talking about perhaps 1-2 seconds before to 10-15 seconds after.  Using
sysinternals file monitor I see that elogd is hammering each log file in the directory.  Not
sure what else is going on.  309 log files - only 1.25Meg.  

Anything I can do short of pruning down the files?

[Edit:  In both cases above my default view is filtered and sorted - so that I only see things
with a specific status.  Taking away the filtering resolves this hit - but does not explain the
speed difference between platforms.]

icon5.gif   ELOG with stunnel won't show logbook, posted by Bartjan Wattel on Wed Aug 25 13:36:56 2004 
Hi,

I have an ELOG installation on a RedHat linux server, called myserver. I 
can connect to this server with the following entries in the elogd.cfg file:
   [global]
   URL=http://myserver:8080
This works fine. I can log in, select logbooks, edit/create entries etc. 
etc.

However, I want this connection to be encrypted. So I activate stunnel (v4) 
in such a way that stunnel listens to port 8081 and forwards to the 
("remote") port 8080, which is the "original" elog port. I change the URL= 
entry in de elogd.cfg file to URL=https://myserver:8081 in order to use the 
SSL encrypted connection.

At this time, when I connect to https://myserver:8081 I get the 
welcome/login screen, but when I enter the (correct) username and password, 
the elog program does not show the contents of the logbook buts shows the 
loginscreen again. If I enter a wrong username/password, I do get a correct 
error-screen. So it seems that the connection is correct, but there is some 
sort of problem in ELOG. Anyone who can give me a hand here?

I believe only through an edit of the C code and a recompile, as the values
are set as constants.  I think this might be the line:

#define MAX_N_LIST      100

So, yes, there exists a way and the ease of this way is dependent upon your
comfort level with changing stefan's code.

Agree. The only potential problem is that if this value becomes too big, you
will get a stack overflow from time to time. So best is experiment yourself a
bit. A avlue of 150 or so should be no problem.

That bug has been fixed recently, please update to the newest version.

Ok, i compiled the code below and ran it,
it prints out:

timezone: 134513644

but in BASH shell if i type DATE, then this is the output:
Mon Oct 18 09:44:00 NZDT 2004
so it does know about NZ time...

Anyone got ideas?

Thanks all.
G.
