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

They are not identical. They just share some information

1.- Using the "Execute new" I call elog to create the second entry. As the server is single-process, it locks: elog is waiting for elogd to be ready and elogd is waiting for elog to finish to accept new requests. As my server is on a Windows machine I can´t execute elog on background.


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.

Thank you. It works with start!

2.- I tried to run 2 servers on different ports using the same elogd.cfd file, calling the second server from elog. This "almost" works: the logbook files are updated, but the original server must be restarted to "see" the changes.


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> won´t substitute $ID


Parsing attributes is not implemented and therefore will not work.


Thank you for your help

I had a nowrap statement in the MOptions check boxes, which should not be there. I removed that and now the options are wrapped nicely:



The problem is that in HTML, the check boxes and the associated text are sometimes ripped apart, i.e. the box appears at the right corner and the text at the next line. That's why I had the nowrap statement there.

This fix will be contained in the next release of elog.


Thank you Stefan!!! Smile

Just as an idea: Some People may find it usefull to have the norap statement in the code. If it's possible for a future release it may be nice to have a flag for this feature!

I didn't find any clues on that in the documentation ...


This is not implemented directly, but you can achieve it in several ways:

  • In the remote logbook, prohibit any modifications. You can do that with the Menu commands = ... option, where you just remove New, Edit, Reply and Duplicate.
  • Do not allow public write access, but public read access. The remote logbook server can read but not write. This requires a guest access, see the manual.
  • Create a special user, let's call it "mirroruser". Use this user to log in from the remote elog server by using the command Mirror user = mirroruser. Now restrict the right of this user via 
    Deny New = mirroruser
Deny Edit = mirroruser
Deny Reply = mirroruser
Deny Duplicate = mirroruser
