Re: faxrm JobID via e-mail



Hello, thanks for the responses

The problem is that only the user uucp can delete the jobs (not even
root), so the tricky part is su'ing (from within a script) to uucp to be
able to run=20

    faxrm 22

Is there a way (a conf option somewhere) to allow any user to run faxrm?

Could do, if I knew where the file was. what's more, faxrm when utilized
properly kicks a nice e-mail back to the original submitter saying job
successfully deleted. (ya could make perl do that too, but..)
