Thanks Stefan, Downloading shortly and I'll let you know ;-)

This is sort of what I do now, I just wondered if there was a way of clearing that would leave the field completely
blank in the YYMMDDa.log file.
Thanks. |

Very nice, thank you! Given that I also still have to test the fix you made for the crash problem with "shared" logbooks (I assume it's also present in 2244), I'll upgrade and report back (probably tomorrow).
|
2244 is now running, and indeed, the "Size" attribute works now. Thank you!  |

By now, I've installed 2244 and ran some rudimentary tests. So far, I was not able to reproduce the crash anymore. Looking good! |

We have been running elog for a couple of years now and this morning it stopped working.
We have tried to rstart it and it says successful start but still does not run, when doing a restart it says stop failed start success.
Does anyone have any ideas.
thanks

You shoudl start elogd interactively in a DOS box to see if there is any error. Maybe disk full or a network problem...
|
It is running on a linux box, we have started in it in a telnet session, and no errors appear, as I am new to e-log is there an error log anywhere.
|
Have fixed this by removing the last added user from the Passwd file. |

Thanks, Stefan (why is this answer down under my name!?)
I couldn't find reference to this in the documentation. In the case I referred to, I'll have to play with the pdf so that
the six pages I actually want displayed are. |
