As a followon, when I do run SVN1714 as a detached process but started as ROOT I get the following console messages:
Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Cannot restore original GID/UID.
I do not get these when I run the app as me - which is a non-UID 0 account. Perhaps this is an artifact of the "-x" option?

I think I found it. Try this:
Locked Attributes = ApprovedDate, CompletedDate
##################################################
# Define CRState
#
Options CRState = PENDING{a}, APPROVED{b}, HOLD{a}, REJECTED{a}, COMPLETED{c}
{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date
In my config when I remove the two attributes from "LOCKED ATTRIBUTES" the fields do not get blanked out.

No, even with that it does not get blanked out. Attached is the complete elogd.cfg with which it works fine in my case (R1714). Can you try that? |

Stefan, when I try that config in a demo logbook in my installation *but with all other items in [global] I get the same field-blanking behavior. I am going to try going back to a completely pristine .cfg, but I suspect this will work fine. I will need to add back in configuration items until I run into the culprit.
Ok, I found it. Try this config:
[global]
port = 8080
[demo]
Comment = Test
Attributes = Author, CRState, ApprovedDate, CompletedDate
Locked Attributes = ApprovedDate, CompletedDate
Type CompletedDate = date
Type ApprovedDate = date
Format CompletedDate = 1
Options CRState = PENDING{a}, APPROVED{b}, HOLD{a}, REJECTED{a}, COMPLETED{c}
{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date
Setting the "Type" to "date" causes the blanking to occur.

Ok, then don't set the "Type" to "date"  |

The "/var/run/elogd.pid" file is created from elogd to indicate under which PID it is running. If you run elogd once under root, this file then belongs to root. If you afterwards run it under a user account, it cannot delete or change the file belonging to root. In that case, just delete that file manually. |
| Quote: |
When a process starts via the normal startup process it is started as root then the process changes to run as nobody -- so the pid file will always be owned by root. Yes? Then, shell commands wil not be able to deal with the pid file, right? Why would the shell exec want to deal with the PID file anyway?
Just curious. As long as this does not pose a problem then I will nto worry about it.

The "one where it errors out" does not look like an error. It does the "fork()" at the end and the main thread ends, that's how it's supposed to be. |

Ok, what this tells me is I need to get TRUSS to follow the fork - which I think I can do. The behavior, however, is that elog never goes into daemon mode after that fork.
More info to follow.

We had complaints about the enormous amount of email so I turned off email notification for edits/replys, but there are times that I would like to allow email to be sent out -- this would imply allowing email by unchecking the "Suppress" box. |
What I think would be needed is:
Suppress Email on edit = 0|1|2

Where a '2' denotes that the "Suppress Email Notification" shows up but *checked* |
Just to a
Suppress default = 1 |

Not quite what I am looking for. What I need is:
"New" Logs
- Always send an email -- do not provide an option to check the box.
-- use Suppress Default = 2
"Edits and Replys"
- Provide the option to send an email, but by default the "suppress" box is checked
-- need Suppress Email on edit = 2

| Quote: | Ok, I got it. I've attached the TRUSS output where we follow the fork. It appears that elogd cannot open any of the specified files then gives up. What was throwing me is no error output, even to STDERR. When I run the same but without the -D flag the files are opened fine.
There are also strange system calls that differ, and I thought it might be due to the setuid(60001) -nobody- but the the non-daemn mode also sets to nobody and works fine. |
