Re: [hylafax-users] Having problems with sendfax notifications.

["John Warren" <jwarren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First to everyone on the list, sorry about the extra posts. I was having a
problem getting my subscription working and I thought the posts were being
rejected. I guess they we're not. But back to my problem.

Ok, I seem to be getting notifications now but I still don't understand why my
time stamp I put into notify is not working. If notify is being called, and I
think it is, then I would expect that the following line I added would put a
time stamp in my test directory.

date >test/lastnotify.txt

The line is placed near the start of the script. If I run the script manually
the date stamp works but when the script is called by Hylafax no time stamp is
updated. The "test" directory is in the same directory as sendq and doneq.

I've not done a lot of "sh" scripting so I could easily be doing something
wrong.

Thanks in advance

John

Make sure that the client submitting the job has asked for
notifications.  In HylaFAX, notifications are only sent if the user
request it.  If the client sets "none" for the job notification, no
notification will be be run for normal completion/failure.

If you don't want user's submitting jobs with "none" notify, you could
use JobControl to reject any job with notification set to none.  This
would quickly get user's attention and get them to start using
notification....
