Thanks for your reply.

I am the user and  it also has the write access 

cd /usr/local/elog/

ls -ltr

drwxrwxrwx  6 tapasi  admin  204 Jan  7 18:26 demo

You should check if the directory /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo belongs to the right user and has the right write permissions.

Since the elogd process belongs to the user "nobody", the directory should best belong to "nobody" as well (or - not recommended - allows write access for "others")

Cheers, Andreas

The process elogd runs as the user "nobody". This user obviously cannot write to /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

But apparently you've created the wrong directory anyway: you've listed /usr/local/elog/demo, but ELOG looks for /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

Sorry, it was my mistake while copying  from terminal to the email .  There is no "demo" directory under /usr/local/lib.

Tapasis-MacBook-Pro:elog tapasi$ cd  /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo

Tapasis-MacBook-Pro:demo tapasi$ ls -ltr

total 0

drwxr-xr-x   3 tapasi  admin   102 Sep 22 11:00 2001

drwxr-xr-x  55 503     admin  1870 Dec 17 13:21 2015

drwxr-xr-x   2 tapasi  admin    68 Jan  7 14:54 2016

 

So, how can I change the user from "nobody" to my name, so that elogd runs in my user name ?

Thanks

Use

usr = <user anme>

in elogd.cfg as written in the documentation.

 Hi all,

I would like to create a new entry remotely.

I would like that when the macro run, the macro automatically create a new entry in my Elog.

I was searching, but i don't saw any thing about this.

Is possible to do a new entry remotely?

 

Thanks for all.

Use the "elog" command line utility as described here under tips & tricks: http://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html

Hi,

I have two logbooks based on the same data directory through "Subdir" option and when I add new entry in one logbook, then that entry is not visible in other logbook.

I suppose it is a bug in el_submit function, where I think the new message should be added to message index of every logbook based on the same data directory as the one, where the message was physically created. 

There is a piece of code, which I think should do this automatically

/* if other logbook has same index, update pointers */

but it seems the other logbooks does not have the same index. 

I'm new to elog and the sources are also new to me, so my guess to the ground of the problem may be wrong.

Let me know is this bug possible to fix in near future.

 

Best regards,

Jacek

Well, having two logbooks in the same subdirectory was initially a planned feature but really never worked. I re-visited this issue and made it working in the current SVN version. So the next release will contain the fix.

Hi Stefan

Is there anything the community or forum can help you with or supply for creating a windows version?

Kind Regards Finn
