  895   Thu Jan 27 19:09:55 2005 Question Tim Fowlertimfowler1@gmail.comRequestLinux | Windows2.5.5-3Automatic Export
Is there any way to automatically export the logbook(s)? 
  898   Tue Feb 1 14:41:08 2005 Question Beeralphb.elog@spampot.comQuestionAll2.5.5-2Finding Last Changed Entries
Is there an inbuilt way to find the last entries changed in an elog?

I could add a "Last Mod" attribute and then config "Subst on edit Last Mod =
$date", but it occurred to me that this functionality might already be in
this wonderful tool somewhere, but I just haven't found it yet.

So, is it?

Best regards, Ralph.

Hi 

Is there a repository of elog configuration files for newbies to lookup and
learn ? I have seen the 'contributions' elog - useful as it is ... it is not
much. I would appreciate if someone can point out such a site where people
have contributed their elog configuration files.

Thanks,
AnandO.

  927   Wed Feb 9 15:40:12 2005 Question Tim Fowlertimfowler1@gmail.comQuestionLinux | WindowsV2.5.6-2ELOG Command Line Utility
I am trying to use the command line utility elog. Some of the attributes 
that I have setup are multiple options. When I run the command line 
utility to create a new message, any attribute that is setup with multiple 
options will not be filled in. The syntax I am using is as  follows:

elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l Lab -a "Site=xxxx" -a "Area=System" -
a "Priority=Low" -a "Shift=1" -a "Status=Open" -m text.txt

Site and Area are defined in the config file as MOptions. Is there a way 
to use this feature with multiple options on attributes with the 
attributes = to one or more variables?
  929   Fri Feb 11 15:44:38 2005 Question Anand Senguptaanandss@iucaa.ernet.inQuestionLinux Help with configuration newbie
Hi,

We have set up a elog server at our institute. The configuration file is
attached. We have the following queries:

1. When replying to another reply in a thread, the author_name attribute is
not substitued (as desired). Since this is a mandatory field, we are not
able to send the reply message. However, reply to the originial message
works fine.

2. "Use Email From = string" prepends an additional "" to the "From"
field in the e-mails.

3. "Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject" fixes the subject line while replying.
However when we add "Category" attribute to this list, it breaks.

Can someone help us?

Suggestions and tips will be thankfully recieved.

Preset on reply Author = $long_name

Do not use "Remove on reply".

This has been fixed recently, please update.

I tried to use your config file and add

Fixed attributes reply = Subject, Category

and it worked as expected. What kind of "break" did you observe?

I am trying to run eLog under Apache 2 on my FreeBSD 5.3 server.  I started
the daemon with "elogd -n <my hostname> -p 8080" and when I connect to my
server on that port, I get a 500 server configuration error.  The Apache log
contains this:

malformed header from script. Bad header=Please specify hostname.: elog

I am running elogd 2.5.7-1 built Feb 14 2005, 09:55:19 revision 1.558

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
