Restart procedure

The elog runs on background in Nodus, configured as an Upstart service. It can be restarted by running:
- sudo initctl restart elog
This runs the rules in /etc/init/elog.conf

FCKeditor (HTML Editor)

A little subprogram called FCKeditor is responsible for the text editing interface that appears when the HTML encoding is chosen as a way to write/edit an entry. If the make command is used to compile the elog, the FCKeditor fails to be installed.
In that case, during the installation of the elog, one has just to go inside the path /cvs/cds/caltech/elog/elog-2.7.5/scripts/ and simply unzip the file fckeditor.zip. That's it.

Enabling the browser's context menu

The context menu is that one which pops up when right clicking with the mouse.
Under FCKeditor, the context menu is disabled by default. To enable it, one has to modify the FCKeditor config file /cvs/cds/caltech/elog/elog-2.7.5/scripts/fckeditor/fckconfig.js by setting the field FCKConfig.BrowserContextMenuOnCtrl = false ; to true.
Then to get the browser's context menu, instead of FCKeditor's, one has to hold <CTRL> when right clicking with the mouse.
Sometime clearing the cash of the browser might be necessary in order for the change to have effect.
