Re: [hylafax-users] Can Hylafax archive old fax messages sent?

[erich.iseli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Cino,

Basically, I've modified the archive script so that it writes an
archive-index file (my new xferfaxlog). The file gets only updated when
archive is launched, which is happening by cron job. Here's the diff, hope
it helps:
