NAME
elog - utility program for Electronic Logbook ELOG
SYNOPSIS
elog -a attribute=value [ -e id ] [ -f file... ] -h host [ -l logbook ] [ -m textfile ] [ -p port ] [ -r

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.
