Help with hylafax scripting please
« on: November 04, 2008, 05:25:46 AM »
I have looked at the sme forums and the posts at hylafax along with google with not much luck.

1) The first thing is that I want my faxes saved as pdf's instead of tif's.

2) Need received faxes send to a designated ibay so select group members can easily access the faxes

3) Need a copy of all successfully sent faxes with confirmation placed in designated ibay folder.

Never used it, but perhaps this might be off help: http://www.avantfax.com/ (uses PHP5 which is not available on current SME 7.x servers by default)

More free web interfaces to hylafax can be found here: http://www.hylafax.org/content/Web_Based_Faxing

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than its worth ~ Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

Hi

hylafax's scripts and files are owned by uucp:uucp user/group

if you want these scripts to write/move files to an ibay, you should add uucp user to your user group

for example, if "faxes" is your ibay and "myusers" is the owner group of the ibay,
Code: [Select]
usermod -a -G myusers uucp
should do the trick

then you have to customize faxrcvd and notify scripts into /var/spool/hylafax/bin.. how to do it? ask google :-)

HTH
