DESCRIPTION

14       The  Electronic Logbook ELOG can be used to store and retrieve messages
15       through a Web interface. Depending on the configuration, the ELOG  sys‐
16       tem can host one or more logbooks which are stored in separate sections
17       on the server.  elog is the standalone client program which can be used
18       from  the  command  line  to interact with the ELOG daemon (elogd). The
19       elog message can either be submitted  on  the  command  line  or  piped
20       through  `stdin' or in a file with the `-m' flag.  For the former case,
21       message with blanks must be enclosed in  quotes.   Multiple  attributes
22       can  be  specified  as  well  as several attachments. The password must
23       match the write password defined on the server.  If user  level  access
24       is defined on the server (via the `Password file' option), a valid user
25       name / password pair must be specified with the `-u' option.
26
27       The elog program makes it possible to submit logbook entries  automati‐
28       cally  by  the system or from scripts. In some shift logbooks this fea‐
29       ture is used to enter alarm messages automatically into the logbook.
