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.

Steve Jones wrote:
On Solaris, SVN1714 will not go into daemon mode. Running the compiled version under TRUSS (which provides a dump of every system call) and shows precisely where elog is failing. I have attached two TRUSS outputs: one where it errors out and the other where it runs but "interactively". Both runs are as root, simply one with and one without the "-D"


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.

Is there a way to allow email notification but have the "Suppress Email Notification" checked by default? 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

I'm playing with the configuration files in order to produce a "minimal" form.
At this time, I did not succeed in removing the following components:

- the "Fields marked with * are required" field


This is handled by
Required attributes = ...

so just remove this line completely if you don't need them.

These fields are always present and cannot be turned off. If you are concerned about screen space (PDA\?), you can change the CSS file for smaller fonts etc.

Steve Jones wrote:
Stefan, I found the source of the problem. When you moved some files to "logbook_dir" you also told the code to look in "logbook_dir" for top and bottom text files. The documentation indicates that the location dir should be "resource_dir".


Yepp. I changed the documentation. Note that you can also specify an absolute path, like
/usr/local/elog/top.html

If the file name starts with a "/" (under Unix), the full path is taken instead of looking in the logbook directory.

I have recently upgraded from the 2.6.0-beta (I believe) to 2.6.2-1699. I just found out that on the day I upgraded, email substitution has stopped working. I have checked the discussion area and all the documentation and do not see any clues. The debug_log.txt file shows that the emails are being processed, but the fields are not being substituted correctly.

Thanks, in advance for any help,
David

I have not been able to find anything wrong in my config file, so I replaced 2.6.2 with 2.6.1 (apparently that was what I was running last, not the 2.6.0-beta) and my troubles have disappeared.

Anybody have any idea what has happened?


This problem has been fixed in revision 1712. So I made an 2.6.2-2 for the Windows community just now. Please upgrade.

Well, what we use for such kind of check lists is the following:

Use Preset test = file.txt where file.txt contains exactly the ASCII code you mentioned, like
[ job done]  [ customer ] [ activity ] [ What should be done ]
[]            BLA          Check job1   Backup mail check
[]            BLA1         Check job2   check error report
[]            Bla2         Check job3   check MQ jobs

So one can put the "X" in the "[]" manually. I know, the individual lines are no real elog attributes, but it works nicely for some check lists. Drawback might be that a use can edit the whole text, but sometimes I find that's even a plus, since the user might add some comments.

Hi Stefan,

We have had problems with some users who subscribe for elog notifications using fake email addresses. When this happens, e-mail notifications stop working for all users and I have to find out which is the problematic email address and fix it myself. Is this a known problem? Is there a fix in a version newer than 2.6.1?

Thanks,
Dimitris


Hi Dimitris,

in fact I have the same problem here with the forum. So far I did not find a clever solution, but I have some thought on how to minimize it:

  • Do the self registration by sending a key to the registered email address. Only by using that key the account can be activated. This way at least on ensures a proper email address initially. There are however ways to temporaryly generate email accounts, which kind of bypasses this system. Furthermore, if an email address becomes invalid because the domain is switched off, this does not help.
  • Email at least an error notification to the admin in case of failure.

You would say "why not removing the invalid email address"? Well that's kind of hard, since I send the email notification to all recipients in one email. Therefor I cannot figure out which is the offending email address. If I would send the emails separately to everyone, this can easily take minutes, which in turn would block the email server for that time. A solution would be a multithreaded server, which in fact is planned, but will not come so soon. If you come up with another clever solution please let me know.
