I just compiled SVN1723 and tried the generic elogd.cfg -- of course *that works!*. Something in my complex config that causes elog to barf when it is attempting to fork the daemon process. To me the TRUSS output indicates that elog can't seem to find any logfile to work on -- very bizarre.

Stefan, you might find this interesting. I went ahead and removed all references to pre-existing logbook directories and restarted with TRUSS tracing the program. Elogd managed to go into daemon mode but the minute it received a request it generated a segmentation fault. Notice that even though elog could not open the logging directory it went ahead and went into polling mode. I have no idea what "/var/run/syslog_door" is. Working on isolating.

The elogd program opens the port (which might be below 1024 and thus needs privileges), then either become daemon or not, then changes to the user and group specified in elogd.cfg. So this behaviour should be the same on both cases.

That's a good starting point. Take your config file, strip one option after the other, and see which is the offending one. This helps us tracking down the problem.
| Steve Jones wrote: | | I have no idea what "/var/run/syslog_door" is. |
I have not either. But one thing which is different in the daemon mode that all output is redirected to the syslog facility via the function call redirect_to_syslog();. This routine was not written by myself so I don't know 100% what it's doing, just under Linux it works fine. Try to outcomment this function and try again. |
Elog v2.6.2-1722 appears to have broken "Suppress default [0|1|2|3]" option on Windows XP box, posted by Gregory M. Caughey on Wed Oct 11 11:37:03 2006

Hi Stefan!
Been running Elog-2.6.2-1714 successfully for a while and yesterday decided to download and experiment with the latest Elog-2.6.2-1722 build. I want to report a possible bug involving the "Suppress default" option when running build 2.6.2-1722 on a Windows XP laptop. I installed 2.6.2-1722 into a development folder and copied my current production 'elogd.cfg' file and other custom files to the development folder. Test postings produced the following results:
1.) The "Suppress default [0|1|2|3]" option causes the [] Suppress Email notification to display or not display as expected.
2.) However, email notifications will be sent under all circumstances regardless of which parameter selected.
3.) Downgrading to Elog-2.6.2-1714 produces the expected behavior.
I am running Windows XP with all current upgrades and security patches and Internet Explorer 7 - version: 7.0.5700.6
Regards, Greg |

Thanks for reporting that problem. I just implemented Suppress email on edit and this could have had some side effect. I tried however to reproduce your problem and was not able to. Trying the "minimal" configuration file, the email notifications were suppressed if the check box was checked, or if Suppress default = 3. Can you check if it works with a minimal config file, and if yes, what option in your "full" config file causes this effect? |

OK, you're absolutely correct. When I run Elog-2.6.2-1722 with a minimal 'elogd.cfg' the "Suppress default [0|1|2|3]" flag does appear to behave as expected. Taking your advice I went through my local 'elogd.cfg' evaluating items to see where the problem starts and I found a problem. In my local config file I use conditional attributes to modify the "category" and "type" fields (in the posting form) and here is what I'm finding wrong. For this example I have set "Suppress default = 3" and the following actions take place:
1.) Select "New" to begin a post and the form displays correctly with NO "[] Suppress Email notification" checkbox showing.
2.) When selecting "Category" an choosing an appropriate menu item the form is then redrawn and now there is a problem, the "[] Suppress Email notification" checkbox is displaying. The checkbox does work correctly but the behavior I'm expecting is for no checkbox to display during the composition of this posting. Am I misunderstanding the behavior of the "Suppress default = 3" flag?
3.) Each of the other flag parameters appear to work as expected as used in the above example.
I have attached screenshots that demonstrate this behavior as well as a snippet of the 'elogd.cfg' file.
Hope this helps a little...
Thanks, Greg |

Yepp it helped. I could reproduce your problem and fix it. Can you try elog262-4.exe (Revision 1729)? |
