Yes, parentheses in field content might be difficult to pass from a shell command. You did not even mention which Linux shell you are using and you did
not show the actual elog command. Maybe you want to add that information?

Hi Daniel,

I agree: it should. And it does in my case; it works perfectly fine for my logbooks. Maybe you should have a closer look for special characters
in you configuration? Otherwise I don't know why it does not work for you.

Thank you for responding.

I thought I provided the command at the end of the note:

/usr/local/bin/elog -h host -p port -l Notebook -u user passwd -a Author="Author" -a Type=Type -a Category=Category -a Subject="subject"

If that is your command then it is obvious why no email is send:

you do set "Type=Type", but only for "Type=Problem(s)" and "Category=TDAQ" you would send an email.

Instead of writing "-h host" you should as well define the actual hostname, like "-h midas.psi.ch", likewise for all other

I didn't realize you required every detail of the command, since the entry is being logged, but here is an example (only the user information is
blanked out):

/usr/local/bin/elog -h vmna62s1 -p 8080 -l NA62Logbook -u xxxx xxxx -a Author=Rubin -a Type=Problem\(s\) -a Category=Elog -a Subject="Client

Okay, I can confirm that this does not work. It is likely related to the disclaimer in the ELOG documentation (https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#conditional)

Conditional attributes are usually only used for change items in the entry form.

I guess that the "Email" command never worked with conditional attributes. I use the "Email" command and conditional attributes
