Re: [hylafax-users] routing faxes to certain folders

[Todd R Davis <TRDavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have modified FaxDispatch to route a certain number to a certain folder
and change to the necessary permissions.  My problem is that I need to add
at least 10 new numbers(=10 separate folders) to this and possibly more in
the future.  I am very new to shell scripting. I don't want to end up with
a very cluttered FaxDispatch file. Does anyone know if using functions
would work and give a very basic idea of how to do this?
Here is my FaxDispatch file so far....   Thank you.

## Default FaxDispatch file - routes all inbound faxes to FaxMaster as PDF

Yes, it's an unadvisable business to modify bin/faxrcvd.

Instead, if the default faxrcvd behavior is close to but not exactly
what I want, and if that behavior is *not* deliberately modifiable by
the default faxrcvd (like, setting SENDTO or FILETYPE or
NOTIFY_FAXMASTER, for examples) - then rewriting default faxrcvd
functionality modified by my needs inside-of FaxDispatch followed by an
"exit" amounts to a whole lot of work that I avoid by simly copying the
default faxrcvd to, say, etc/faxrcvd.custom, making the modifications
there, and then setting "FaxRcvdCmd: etc/faxrcvd.custom" in my modem
config files.  This also avoids dealing with merging in changes over
upgrades and reinstallations.
