Re: [hylafax-users] WHFC - Cover Pages again

[Nigel Allen <prosmart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings

Thank you so much - when I looked at your email it made perfect sense

however

the wrapper script looks like this

#!/bin/sh
## Set SendFaxCmd: /usr/sbin/faxsend-wrapper in $SPOOL/etc/config
## Args should be:
## $1    "-m"
## $2    "devXX"
## $3    "sendq/qXXX"
#
# Grab the cover page so faxsend doesn't delete it before we use it in notify
MYCOVER=`grep 'postscript.*cover' <$3 | awk -F: '{print $4}'`
cp $MYCOVER tmp
exec /usr/sbin/faxsend $*

and the fax sends perfectly but I get no confirmation email.

Just to make it REALLY weird, if I comment out the cp command, it works and I 
get a notify by email. And yes, I checked out the cp and it works fine.

Anyone got any ideas - I know I'm missing something really stoopid here.

TIA

Nigel.
