  66341   Mon May 4 11:22:40 2009 Question soren poulsensoren.poulsen@cern.chQuestionLinux2.7.5-2172Using preset text files

Hi,

I am trying the Preset text option from the documentation: like:

Attributes = Author, Type
Options Type = Network check{1}, System check{2}

{1} Preset text = network.txt
{2} Preset text = system.txt

I have two questions:

1. Where are the preset text files searched from ? I guess I could put them in the logbook (and specify a relative path like in this example) but it appeared only to work when I specifiy an abcolute path. That is even better in my case.

2. How do I specify line feeds in the file ? I tried Linux and Windows new line characters - but I always end up with just  one line in my e-log. I would really like a multi-line form.

Soren

I'm trying to configure this thing to be able to filter on a set of 
criteria, choose select, choose toggle all, and then choose "Move to 
Complete Work Requests".

I've been able to select a specific logbook entry and move it, and I've 
been able to filter and select and toggle, but I can't figure out how to 
get the Move To option to show up on the main logbook menu....

what am I missing?

I intend to create a script that updates one of our elog logbooks based on mails it receives. I was hoping to be able to do this using the "elog" command line tool. Adding a new entry works fine, as does "replying" to an existing entry. The only thing I cannot get to work is editing an existing entry. All entries ahve several attributes and I intend not to use the "message" itself. I tried the following (on the machine this elogd is running on):

  1. Create a new entry with Attribute1 set to "value":

    elog -a 'Attribute1=value' -x -h localhost -l 'LOGBOOK' -p 8080 -u USER PASSWD

    This works - the entry gets created and is displayed properly.
    NOTE: I found that this does not work if LOGBOOK has any spaces in it - I would get error messages where the logbook was not found.
     
  2. Edit this entry to set a second attribute:

    elog -e 1 -a 'Attribute2=something' -x -h localhost -l 'LOGBOOK' -p 8080 -u USER PASSWD

    The result was: Error transmitting message. Running the same command with -v gives me a whole bunch of text with at the end this message (I've stripped the HTML): "This entry has in meantime been modified by someone else. Submitting it now would overwrite the other modification and is therefore prohibited." However, I know for certain that this entry is not being editied by anyone at that moment, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong here...

Also, I have a second, related question: Editing by the ID of the entry seems to be the only way of editing an entry - this makes it a bit difficult for me, as all entries already have a unique ID (which is defined as one of the attributes) that is non-numerical and not sequential. What is the easiest way to retrieve an ID from the command line (basically something like: "What ID has the entry with Attribute1==NAME?")? Is it possible at all? Otherwise, I would not be able to automatically edit the entries, as I don't know which is which... :-}

Thanks a lot

  395   Tue Jul 15 14:46:50 2003 Idea Stefan Rittstefan.ritt@psi.chInfo 2.3.9Version 2.3.9 released today
Version 2.3.9 of elog has been released today. Enhancements are:

- Added options "Use Lock", "Title image"

- New "Email format" specifies what is sent exactly in an email 
notification. This may now include also attachments

- "Format <attribute>" lets you assign separate style sheet classes to each 
attribute, making the web display more powerful (see this forum, 
the "subject" uses a separate formatting). Note that this feature requires 
an update of the old "default.css" CSS file, if a elog version prior to 
2.3.9 is already installed on a system.

- "Execute new/edit/delete" lets one execute shell commands on the server 
side for new, edited or deleted messages. Since this can cause security 
problems, a new flag "-x" has been added to the elogd daemon to enable this 
feature. It can be used to synchronize the elog database with other 
databases, or to send SMS messages to people.

- New "Logging level" option gives enhanced logging capabilities, including 
read and write access logging to individual elog entries.

- The elog utility can now edit existing messages, and correctly quotes 
messages with "> " on replies.

A few small bugs have been fixed, refer to the ChangeLog for more details.
  2098   Tue Nov 28 12:48:47 2006 Idea Stefan Rittstefan.ritt@psi.chInfoAll2.6.3Version 2.6.3 released today
Dear ELOG users,

ELOG version 2.6.3 has been released today. It contains all the bug fixes, security fixes and a few new features collected since the last release which was actually almost half a year ago. The changelog contains all the details.

Due to the security fixes it is recommended to upgrade from any version prior to 2.6.3. Please note that the location of all password and log files has been moved from the main elog directory to the logbook directory. This means that after upgrading you have to move your password file manually, otherwise you cannot log in any more. This modification was requested because some ELOG installations (especially ones with top groups) can now have a read-only main directory.
