DESCRIPTION¶
The Electronic Logbook
ELOG can be used to store and retrieve messages
through a Web interface. Depending on the configuration, the
ELOG
system can host one or more logbooks which are stored in separate sections on
the server.
elog is the standalone client program which can be used
from the command line to interact with the
ELOG daemon (elogd). The
elog message can either be submitted on the command line or piped
through `stdin' or in a file with the `-m' flag. For the former case, message
with blanks must be enclosed in quotes. Multiple attributes can be specified
as well as several attachments. The password must match the write password
defined on the server. If user level access is defined on the server (via the
`Password file' option), a valid user name / password pair must be specified
with the `-u' option.
The
elog program makes it possible to submit logbook entries
automatically by the system or from scripts. In some shift logbooks this
feature is used to enter alarm messages automatically into the logbook.
