What I think would be needed is:
Suppress Email on edit = 0|1|2

Where a '2' denotes that the "Suppress Email Notification" shows up but *checked* |
Just to a
Suppress default = 1 |

| Steve Jones wrote: | | Stefan, I found the source of the problem. When you moved some files to "logbook_dir" you also told the code to look in "logbook_dir" for top and bottom text files. The documentation indicates that the location dir should be "resource_dir". |
Yepp. I changed the documentation. Note that you can also specify an absolute path, like
/usr/local/elog/top.html
If the file name starts with a "/" (under Unix), the full path is taken instead of looking in the logbook directory. |

The "/var/run/elogd.pid" file is created from elogd to indicate under which PID it is running. If you run elogd once under root, this file then belongs to root. If you afterwards run it under a user account, it cannot delete or change the file belonging to root. In that case, just delete that file manually. |

When a process starts via the normal startup process it is started as root then the process changes to run as nobody -- so the pid file will always be owned by root. Yes? Then, shell commands wil not be able to deal with the pid file, right? Why would the shell exec want to deal with the PID file anyway?
Just curious. As long as this does not pose a problem then I will nto worry about it.

The "one where it errors out" does not look like an error. It does the "fork()" at the end and the main thread ends, that's how it's supposed to be. |

Ok, what this tells me is I need to get TRUSS to follow the fork - which I think I can do. The behavior, however, is that elog never goes into daemon mode after that fork.
More info to follow.

Not quite what I am looking for. What I need is:
"New" Logs
- Always send an email -- do not provide an option to check the box.
-- use Suppress Default = 2
"Edits and Replys"
- Provide the option to send an email, but by default the "suppress" box is checked
-- need Suppress Email on edit = 2

| Quote: | Ok, I got it. I've attached the TRUSS output where we follow the fork. It appears that elogd cannot open any of the specified files then gives up. What was throwing me is no error output, even to STDERR. When I run the same but without the -D flag the files are opened fine.
There are also strange system calls that differ, and I thought it might be due to the setuid(60001) -nobody- but the the non-daemn mode also sets to nobody and works fine. |

| Suppress email on edit has been implemented in the current SVN revision just similar to the Suppress default flag having possible values of 0, 1, 2 and 3. |

| Ben Shepherd wrote: | Hi,
Would it be possible to add an 'append' option to the elog.exe client program? I would like to be able to write a simple script for adding images into a logbook - i.e. right-click in Windows and click 'add to log', or click a button in LabVIEW or Matlab and have an image immediately added to the last log entry. There would also have to be an option to either return a list of entry IDs, or just append to the last entry. Is this possible/likely?
|
Unfortunately it is not simple under Windows to extend the right-click functionality. What I do is to use a snapshot program (like HoverSnap). Triggered with a definable hot key, it grabs a region of the screen and puts it into a GIF file. Then you can attach it to an elog. I agree it takes a couple of clicks, but it's still a quick thing. |
