[hylafax-users] faxalter cron script



Hi All,

I'm looking at a way to fix and reschedule stuck faxes with the faxalter command.
I was planning to run a simple cron task that would check for any faxes stuck in the queue longer than 30 minutes and then reschedule them.


The only problem i see is the faxalter command will ask for a password.
So .. I'm wondering how would I set up a "super fax" user that wouldn't need to enter a password, so i could make this part of a automated script?
I've tried various alternatives in the hosts.hfaxd file, however haven't manged to make a password free account?


Another alternative is I hard code the cron script with the password and ftp into the server and issue the command from there, only I don't know the commands to get the ftp fax server to alter the faxes?

Any suggestions?

Regards
Tony D
