I guess you want to do some more complex calculations, like adding the running times, etc. This goes beyond the scope of elog. You can however export elog entries as a CSV file and import it in a spreadsheet program and do there all calculations you want.

Different timezone settings for each elog, posted by gary holman on Wed Jun 10 17:30:34 2015

I have multiple elogs running on a server. Is it possible to set one elog to a different timezone? For example, I run an elog for a group in Washington state, and another elog for a collaboration group in Germany. I would like to set each elog to their respective timezone.
thanks,

The elog server grabs the local timezone from the underlying OS. Under Linux, you can change the timezone using the TZ environment variable. See here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-set-time-zone-per-user-basis/
If you need different time zones on the same server, you have to create two accounts and run two instances of elogd on these accounts.

Thanks Stefan, It looks like the group had actually contacted you directly as well (sorry for the redundant work!). Thanks for the help, the great application and your time.

Still no luck changing the TZ for a single elog service. I completed the following:
* I added a new user/group - central-tz-user (id 1010)
* changed user TZ to central, su as user and confirmed CDT via 'date'
* changed elogd.cfg usr and grp to central-tz-user
* changed elog directory recursively to central-tz-user ownership
* restarted the elog instance and confirmed via 'ps aux' that 1010 is running elog process
* When I go to elog and add new entry, server time (PDT) is shown.
Am I missing a step here possibly?

Okay, I missed the obvious...
sudo -u central-tz-user (start elog)
