Hi,

I have set up my elog for testing and setup postfix to be able to send email notification for register of new user but whatever i try elog cannot set email. I try to sent test email in my bash and this is working without problem to my gmail account.

I have tried several configuration for my smtp client on my centos 7 but nothing is working in elog for the email. I also tried with several other email but no change either.

Is there a problem with the automatic sending of email ? 

Best

Pierre

Hi Stefan, I did run in verbose mode but only got this output with the 587 SMTP port from gmail

Email from <ELog@localhost.localdomain> to XXXX@gmail.com, SMTP host smtp.gmail.com:
220 smtp.gmail.com ESMTP n1sm6153685pfd.156 - gsmtp
EHLO localhost.localdomain
250-smtp.gmail.com at your service, [134.160.38.27]
250-SIZE 35882577
250-8BITMIME
250-STARTTLS

250-CHUNKING
250 SMTPUTF8
AUTH LOGIN
530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. n1sm6153685pfd.156 - gsmtp

However the mail command in my bash is working juste fine

Hi,

I'm trying to expand the Subject column, when viewing in summary mode, and couldn't find any documentation for it.  Is this possible and if so, how would I do it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your prompt follow up.  I did try commenting of the width statement for listtitle2 and also reducing it to 40% but it did not work.  I restarted elogd daemon and I don't see the columns changing.  I also tried putting a percentage number (40%) for listtitle1 just to try and no change either.  Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

I tried using this $@MID@$ in JS as a variable and cannot doit. I researched a little and found no answer on special character usage. If anyone knows, please lemme know. I also tried breifly in Elogd to change it to something like just MID, but need a better editor as  (Kate) is not saving the program back in correct iso (character) format. So I thought I'd pose the question in the meanwhile.

Thanks, John

Hello,

I just gave it a quick try to the command line client, to see if I can use it to access our institution service. 

[root@host ~]# cd /tmp/
[root@host ~]# mkdir elog
[root@host ~]# cd elog
[root@host ~]# wget https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@host ~]# rpm2cpio elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
[root@host ~]# cd usr/local/bin/
[root@host ~]# ./elog --help
[root@host ~]# ./elog -h <hostname> -l <logbook> -u <myusername> <mypassword> -w last
"Message successfully transmitted, ID=-1"

Is that the expected output? I was expecting to see info about the latest message in the server.

Cheers,

Jose

I am moving from a Hyper-V host to a VMware host and created a new elog server. I installed the elog software and did an rsync to get the .cfg file and logbooks to the new server.

rsync -av root@old.elog.server:/usr/local/elog /usr/local/
 

On the new server all of the 2020 entries are missing and there does not appear to be a 2020 logbook on either server but I can still access the 2020 entries on the old server. Where might they be and how do I get them over to the new server.

Old server says version is ELOG V3.1.4-unknown and new server says version is ELOG V3.1.4-966e3dd

Bothe servers a fully updated CentOS 7.

On the new server in the logbook that should have several 2020 entries it stops on the last entry of 2019.

On the old server after stopping elogd i get:

/usr/sbin/elogd -v 3

Cannot open "elogd.cfg": No such file or directory

Are the files supposed to be in /usr/local/elog or /usr/share/elog? I have both on the old server. I only synced /usr/local/elog to the new server. In any case the Logbook with 2020 entries does not show a 2020 directory.

My backup system also does not show any 2020 logbook directories. It was current up to this week when I started this process.
