Hello,

I try to email by using a email text file to reduce the admin work.
  • MOptions Team = EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA, AMERICA
  • Email Team EUROPE = $shell(type C:\EuropeEmailList.txt)

but i get always Email sent to Shell execution not enabled via -x flag

Is this feature not supported by ELOG or did i use the wrong syntax?

Thank you in advance.

You need to start elogd with the "-x" flag


Yes, i did it. But the problem is still there.
I exactly tried 50 times by submit a new entry and got only 3 times passed. 47 another cases i got:
"Error sending Email via "192.168.2.20": 5.5.2 Need Rcpt command".
I run elogd -v and see:
"Email Team EUROPE to Shell execution not enable via -x flag"

Well, it looks like you are getting the text "Shell execution not enable via -x flag" put into the EUROPE attribute then the email server is attempting to send email to the email address "Shell execution not enable via -x flag", which is clearly not a valid address thus the "Error sending Email via "192.168.2.20": 5.5.2 Need Rcpt command".

You need to run run "elogd -v -x" then look for the errors. You also might try a more simpler test like "Preset Team EUROPE = = $shell(type C:\EuropeEmailList.txt)" and then see what is returned. It makes it simpler and removes the email error from the equation.

I did notice on the second one when I started it from a command prompt that it was creating a new empty password file in a different location.

I have a password file called pwd.txt. It resides in the main elog directory, in my case, c:\elog, along with the elgod.exe and elogd.cfg. Apparently, the new version looks for it in the logbooks directory. I adjusted my path to the file and it works fine.

I am reporting this as a bug because it is my guess that this is not an expected result. I would expect the old elogd.cfg file to work without altering in the newer version.

Thanks, keep up the great work, Stefan. You have a great program.

I also just noticed that the text files I use for presetting the text window also have to be in the logbooks directory.

What about a threshold for the "All" display? If a logbook contains less than, let's say, 500 entries, the "All" link is displayed, and above 500 entries it's hidden. Would that make sense?


Hi Stefan,
Sorry for the late response, I was away for a few days. Yes, I think that this would make perfect sense, especially if the maximum number of entries was configurable.
Cheers,
Dimitris
