> Can you give a syntax example of the Logging Level option ?

Please refer to the documentation (http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html), I just 
updated it. "Logging Level = 3" is the maximum level which includes writes and 
reads.

Cheers

It appears Im having problems getting this to work, my config is as follows, yet 
its not updating the log file since i installed the new RPM 2.3.9, is there a 
problem or am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks in advance.

Oops, there was a bug. I added the resource directory in front of the logfile name, 
which is not correct if the logfile name contains an absolute path. I fixed that in 
the current CVS version. As a temporary fix, remove the resource dir in your elogd.cfg 
or remove the full path in the logfile (the file will the be put into the resource dir 
of course...).

Forgive me if I've missed it, but I've looked in the forum, on-line cfg docs 
and downloaded docs.  I cannot find details on how to the used 
the "Execute ..." command.  What is passed on command line, etc.

thanks in advance

Sorry, I forgot to put it into the documentation. It's now available from 
http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html You basically use "Execute new = 
<command>", where <command> can have substitutions like $<attribute>, 
$remote_host, etc. You also have to start elogd with the "-x" flag to enable 
shell executions, since they can impose a security problem (see documentation).
