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?

the following patch should do the job:

two new elog.conf parameters are defined:
Attached image width          ; width of full view image attached
Attached image width entry    ; width of attached image in the entry list view

plz apply :-)

current version uses strstr() to check if the file has the expected ascii
text extension ... this is buggy becouse this way a file named
".txt_hidden_file" or "foo.config.dat" are both seen as .txt files.

the following patch fixes the problem, plz apply to cvs:

I did not use de - n host/ip syntax at the startup of elogd.
Now it's working properly.
