[hylafax-users] FaxNotify Postscript to pdf not working.

["Brad Stevens" <bstevens@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've resorted to the mailing list to pose what I think is a new problem.

 

First off, a little background...this is my first experience with HylaFAX. 

 

I've chosen the following setup:

Fedora Core 5

HylaFAX binary for FC5  version 4.3.1-1

 

Receiving as PDF files works great.

Sending with Winprint HylaFAX works great as well.  Until I tried turning on FaxNotify with the "RETURNFILETYPE=pdf;" flag on.

I get the notify email, but no attachment at all.  (also tried tiff option...same end result so I focused back to pdf)

 

My Google searches and troubleshooting has let me down the path of running the notify script manually like so:

 

[root@FAXSERV hylafax]# ./bin/notify doneq/q31 done 10:00
grep: unrecognized option `-- data'
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `grep --help' for more information.
FILE 1: docq/doc37.ps
Converting docq/doc37.ps to PDF
Using ps2pdf
basename: extra operand `ESP'
Try `basename --help' for more information.
[root@FAXSERV hylafax]#

So I started looking into the notify script and the conversion routine in the common-functions script.  This led me to remove the tempcleanup call

and I then found that the conversion actually works and creates the PDF file and the /tmp/ directory but never actually attaches it to the notify email.

Now is where I admit the bash scripting in the notify script for attaching the pdf is a little above my brain power to decipher.  Does anyone have any

suggestions on how I can get this working?

 

BTW: if I set the "RETURNFILETYPE" flag to "ps" then it works, the original postscript file is attached and sent.

 

Thanks in advance!
