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	id ] [ -s subdir ] [ -u	username pass-
       word ] [	-v ] [ -w password ] message  [	-x ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  Electronic Logbook ELOG can	be used	to store and retrieve messages
       through a Web interface.	Depending on the configuration,	the ELOG  sys-
       tem 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 automati-
       cally by	the system or from scripts. In some shift logbooks  this  fea-
       ture is used to enter alarm messages automatically into the logbook.
