| pavel | temp213@gorodok.net | Request | All | 3.1.4 | Subdirectories in logbooks | Hello, Is there any way to organize logbooks in some kind of tree with sublogbooks or just have a subdirectories in a logbook directory on the filesystem (treat it as a sublogbook if its name is different from 4 digits of year and pin above all the entries in a list) to structure entires a bit?

| Frank Baptista | caffeinejazz@gmail.com | Request | Mac OSX | 3.1.3-fd7f1e2 | Executing a shell command using elogd Windows service | Greetings!
We've been successfully running nearly a dozen separate logbooks on independent laptops -- all of them are running elogd as a Windows service. This works well, since I've also set up auto recovery options in the event that the service inadvertently stops.
Now, I have a need to place the value of an attribute of the latest log entry into a basic text file. Of course, this works just fine if I have launched elogd -x as a normal executable, using Execute new = echo $Status > Last_status.log in my CFG file. However, I would like to be able to do this using the Windows service which is running in the background.
Is there another way to write the value of an attribute into a separate file? If not, do I have to have a special build of ELOG in order to be able to enable the Windows service to execute shell commands? For the record, these logbooks are running on secure laptops that are isolated onto their own network, and the user is unable to edit the CFG file.
In case you're wondering about the reason for the separate text file -- I've written a separate program which illuminates one of 4 different color signal lamps (mounted on a test station), based on the latest "Status" of the test station. (Running, Idle, Broken, Other).
I appreciate any guidance here -- this is a "big deal" here, as one glance over the floor gives us an idea of what's running (or not).
Thanks!

No, there is no other way than the Execute new thing. I have given up long time ago to use Windows services, because they are very hard to debug and very limited. So at our site everything runs under Linux.
Have you tried to specify the explicit path of your log file? Like Execute new = echo $Status > C:\Path\Last_status.log
Best,
Stefan

| Frank Baptista | caffeinejazz@gmail.com | Request | Windows | 3.1.3-fd7f1e2 | Re: Executing a shell command using elogd Windows service | Well, there I was, eating Thanksgiving dinner, when suddenly, it hit me (no, not indigestion). I can write a simple program that parses out the latest "Status" from the most recent logbook file -- a relatively easy task, since it's a text file. This solution avoids having to execute a shell command at all. GOOOOOOAAAAAAL!!!
As always, I appreciate all your help...can't thank you enough!
All the best,
Frank

| Daniel Pfuhl | daniel.pfuhl@medizin.uni-leipzig.de | Request | Linux | Windows | Mac OSX | All | Other | 3.1.4 | CSS for HTML Mails | Hi there,
we extensively use Logbuch as a change documentation platform.
E-Mail notifications for new entries are very important for us.
Since we store sensible data in our logbooks the server is protected by a firewall.
After the firewall was activated the HTML mails are not rendered by the Outlook Mail clients we use - when they are located in an "external" net behind the firewall. I assume that's because of the css stylesheet which is linked in the source code of the HTML mail.
Is there any chance to include the CSS information in the HTML code? Otherwise we would need to make the CSS accessable from anywhere which requires in turn that the path of the CSS file can be customized.
Any idea how to solved this issue?
Best regards,
daniel |
