Due to frequent requests, the elog utility reads the message body text from the 
console (stdin), if it's missing on the command line (like in your case). Under 
Linux, you can then pipe some text into elog

cat message.txt | elog -h ...

or under Windows

type message.txt | elog -h ...

If you enter the text directly, you have to finish it with Ctrl-Z / Return
(Windows) or Ctrl-D (Linux). If you do not want any text, you can write

elog -h .... -a Status=operational " "

to submit an empty text (well, almost empty, contains single blank).

Note: When I hit ctrl-break, it exits to cmd prompt, and the entry appears 
in the logbook.... ?

That's really weired. The file is displayed at the bottom of single messages, 
and the message list, but NOT at the form, which you reach with the "Edit" 
command. So all I can suggest ist the following:

- Hit the reload button on your browser each time you change that file, to 
make sure the browser does not display a page from its cache

- The HTML file is *included* in the normal page, so it should not contain 
<HTML> or <BODY> tags. Start with a simple file containing something like

<center>Test</center>

and see what you get.

- Make sure the file is in the elog "resource" directory, which gets 
displayed if you start elogd with the "-v" flag.

Let me know if any of this helped.

I have had this installed for about two weeks now and it seems to be working
fine. I haven't seen any problems at all and none of the other users have
reported any.

Thanks.  This is very helpful.

I tried to add a file with the  "Bottom text = <file>" option.

Although one would suggest that the bottom text file is included in every 
page, I only saw the file appear in the page that appears when you issue 
the "cmd=Edit" command.

Resolving this would enhance the ability to create skin.

Oops, there was a bug. I added the resource directory in front of the logfile name, 
which is not correct if the logfile name contains an absolute path. I fixed that in 
the current CVS version. As a temporary fix, remove the resource dir in your elogd.cfg 
or remove the full path in the logfile (the file will the be put into the resource dir 
of course...).
