|
I restarted the elog with the script as it was not up when I tried to make a post. It was again unresponsive when I went to submit, but this time the
script couldn't restart it. The log said it couldn't bind to 8080, which usually happens if the daemon is still running. I pkilled it, then reran the script,
and it appears to be working. |

Elog went nonreponsive. SSH'ed into nodus to run restart script. Elog came back ~15 minutes later. |

Elog did not respond despite running the /cvs/cds/caltech/elog/start-elog.csh script two times.
It worked the after the third restart.

Elog restart script killed the elog, but didn't restart it. Restarted by hand. |

I've noticed that it always takes running the script twice for it to actually work. I think there's something wrong with how it's doing it. I'll mess
with it sometime the elog isn't getting much use.

Basically, elog hangs up by the visit of googlebot.
Googlebot repeatedly tries to obtain all (!) of entries by specifying "page0" and "mode=full".
Elogd seems not to have the way to block an access from the specified IP. |

|
- elogd itself is a sort of web server which has no freedom to put our own file, we can not put robots.txt
- If we include elog using proxy in the usual web tree of Apache, we can put robots.txt at the root.
- So far, if we prevent "page0" browse by google, we will be saved for a while. |

After this modification, elog seems to have survived 66 times of attacks by googlebots.

On the plus side, it was the first time I've had to do it in a while.. |
Thu Aug 9 12:55:15 2012, Zach, Update, elog, elog was being a pain in the ass; I restarted it
|
The elog was not responding. I attempted to restart it by running .../start-elog.csh, but this didn't work (even after the usual ~2 times it needs).
Somehow pkill did not kill the daemon, so I kill -9'd it and that did the trick. I ran the start script once more and it came back online. |

In order to fix ELOG search, I have started running ELOG v2.9.2 on Nodus.
Sadly, due to changes in the software, we can no longer use one global write password. Instead, we must now operate
with registered users. |
Tue Dec 23 16:49:32 2014, ericq, Update, elog, Strange ELOG search
|
So, despite having registered users, it turns out that the "Author" field is still open for editing when making posts. I.e. we don't
really need to make new accounts for everyone.
Thus, I've made a user named "elog" with the old write password |

No elog response from outside and no elogd process on nodus, so I restarted it using 'start-elog.csh'. |

If it all possible, don't use links to your home directory. Its not robust. It would be like if you clicked on your Google Music and it told you

Hmm? What is the definition of the percentage error? I don't obtain these numbers from the given values.
And how was the finesse value obtained from the simulation result? Then what is the frequency resolution used in Finesse simulation? |
Mon Jun 11 19:16:49 2018, keerthana, Update, elog, Comparison of the analytical and finesse values of TMS and FSR.

The percentage error which I found out =[(analytical value - finesse value)/analytical value]*100
But inorder to find the finesse value, I just used curser to get the central frequency of each peak and by substracting one from the other I
found TMS and FSR. |
