    icon2.gif   Re: speed is very slow if logbook contains many entries, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Nov 20 17:55:57 2003 
I implemented the new scheme where 

- under Windows, the configuration is only checked once every access

- under Unix, the configuration is read initially, and on every -HUP signal

This should speed up the server considerably. The next bottleneck is the 
rsputs2() function, which requires quite some computing power in order to find 
any "http://", "//", etc. strings in every output. If anybody knows a 
more clever way of coding that, please let me know.

The new version is under CVS.

Many thanks for your quick reply to this issue.  I have also noticed that when 
moving a log entry that contains as few as 4 replies to replies with the "Move to" 
command that the elog server will crash.  I ran into this issue many times when I 
created a new logbook and was trying to move some of the longer threads into it.  
Please let me know if you would like me to send some sample entries from our 
logbook that illustrate this.

Thanks,
Chris

may be use the logic in the 'format' attribute
like 'email', http, ftp 
so elog will test only on these attributes
icon4.gif   Strange timezone in email sent with Postfix, posted by Joseph Giaime on Thu Jan 29 00:24:44 2004 
Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting a sensible timezone to be attached to e-mail that gets sent out when messages are posted. I'm using Postfix, not sendmail (Mac OS X Server uses this beginning with version 10.3). In this set-up, the 'sendmail' program is a front-end for Postfix, not the real thing. I suspect that there are subtle differences that cause this problem.
Instead of something like "Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 14:46:16 -0600", the "-0600" is replaced by a large number that doesn't correspond with anything I can figure out. This is the sort of thing that does no real harm, but the notebook users keep complaining
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. -Joe
Here is what gets mailed when a messages is posted:

This is caused by the elogd program itself. To produce the "-0600", it uses the 
variable "timezone", which is defined as difference in seconds between local time 
and coordinated universl time. This works find under Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, but 
apparently not under MacOSX. Although this variable is defined, it's unassigned. 

The code where this is used is in sendmail(), at the lines

   time(&now);
   ts = localtime(&now);
   strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S", ts);
   offset = (-(int) timezone);
   if (ts->tm_isdst)
      offset += 3600;

The current localtime gets written into "buf", then the timzone offset gets 
corrected by the daylight savings time, then the offset is used to produce the 
"-0600".

So if anybody being familiar with MacOSX has some idea, please let me know.

When Chrome came out, I vaguely remember that there were some initial problems, but they have been fixed since about a year. But I see you are using a pretty old version of ELOG, so please consider upgrading.
