Hello,

I've been successfully using elog as a daemon since several years on a Linux machine. For some reasons recently I had to switch to a Windows 7 machine. Here, setting up the elog daemon doesn't work for me:

(a) running the command:

"...\ELOG\elog.exe" -c "...\ELOG\elogd.cfg"

in a windows shell works perfectly fine - logbook is up and running as set up in the cfg-file.

(b) However, starting the windows service manually (start->control panel->system and security->administrative tools->services) that was set up automatically during installation of elog leads to an error message:

"Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

From the service settings I can verify that the service is running exactly the same command that works in (a).

Could someone please share the windows service settings? Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Christian

These problems are usaully related to user rights. Try starting the service under a different (maybe admin) user.

Hi Stefan,

you were right - running the service by an authorized user solved the problem.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers, Christian

hi

I have an elogsystem for documenting emergency services. I have a starttime and an endtime. Is it possible to calculate the diff between the 2 timestamps and convert it to minutes?

Attributes = Bereitschafts Kalender Woche, Bereitschafts Woche, Einsatzbeginn, Einsatzende, Einsatzzeit, Telefon Nummer, Station, Status, Problem 
Options Status= Offen{1}, Erledigt{2}, Geschlossen{3}

......

Type Einsatzbeginn = datetime
Type Einsatzende = datetime

....

Subst Einsatzzeit  = $shell(Einsatzende - Einsatzbeginn) 

regards

I found the solution in the forum :-)

subst Einsatzzeit = $shell(/usr/local/elog/diff.sh \"$Einsatzbeginn\" \"$Einsatzende\")

and diff.sh is

#!/bin/sh
#set -x
s1=$(date -d "$1" +%s)
s2=$(date -d "$2" +%s)
d=$(echo "($s2-$s1)/60"|bc -lq)
printf "%.0f Minuten" $d
 

is ist possible that subst only works for the initial create of a logbook entry? when I change/edit one of the parameter "Einsatzbegin" or "Einsatzende" the "Einsatzzeit" is not changed.

There is the "subst on edit = ..." option you should use in addition.

thx!
