Hi,

I have been using elog for a few years and it is a wonderfull software and has been one that I can't go without. So thank you very much for making it. smiley

After about a year, I upgraded to the latest version. I noticed that it causes the system to crash. It doesn't seem to happen that often. 

I have installed this on 2 machines, one Windows 10 and one on Windows 7. Over the last week I got one BSOD on each OS. 

The elogs have different configs and logbooks. One is a simple elog that doesn't have any attachments or anything funky. Just straight text.

Please see attached a screenshot of the Memory.DMP which has happned seconds after an schedule restarted the elog service on my PC. 

I will keep monitoring and see if will happen again. But I thought I log it here anyway.

Thanks.

Cheers.

Ales.

Hi,

I am using the # character to generate automatically incrementing numbers for new messages.

My issue is that # is evaluated when you hit "New" but E-log is only aware of the new value being used when you hit "Submit".

So, two E-logs can have the same value substituted for # if two E-logs are being edited in parallel.

Maybe someone has a solution to this ?

The solution is to use "Subst" instead of "Preset".

 This is not really resolved, since "Subst" creates a new number on both "New" and "Reply". I would like "Subst" to create a new number only on "New" and preserve this number through replies throughout the thread. I would like to be able to say "Subst thread = #" to make a new number for the thread and combine it with "Subst on reply thread = $thread" to preserve the number on replies, but this does not work. Maybe someone has already done this ?

 This can be solved with something like "Subst <attr> = $shell(cmd...) where cmd calculates a new value of attr, as a function of #, when attr does not already have a value. This thread is closed.

I just reworked the "Subst" command to make it more consistently. Now "Subst on Edit" and "Subst on Reply" are executed after the entry submission,  and they are mutually exclusive. So all you need right now is

Subst Tag = #

and it will not increment when editing or replying to an existing entry. The fix is in SVN revision 2264.

Please tell me for what purpose you need two identical logbooks. Maybe what you want can be achieved in a simpler way.

Have you tried to start your elog with the start command under Widnows, like start elog .... This is the equivalent of starting a process in the background under linux.

This is because you use the same data directory for both servers. If one server writes a new entry to a file, the other server does not realize this. Only when you restart it, it rescans the whole data directory and gets aware of the new entry. Try using separate data directories for the two servers.

3.- Using the "Menu text" option, I create a link to create the new entry. The problem is that attributes are not parsed: a link like this <a href="/logbook2/?cmd=New&pAttr=Value $ID">Test</a> wonīt substitute $ID
Parsing attributes is not implemented and therefore will not work.

They are not identical. They just share some information

Thank you. It works with start!
