[hylafax-users] Contributing an init script for faxgetty

["George H" <george.dma@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've gotten hylafax working really well (thanks to the help from this
list) and since I need it running on a cluster of PCs I can't have the
faxgetty process being run from  /etc/inittab.

Found a bash script someone wrote to do this but it was too primitive
and some portions didn't work with me. So I re-wrote most of it to
work. If you use this you'd need to install  killproc program.

This is good cos you can do /etc/init.d/faxgetty {start | stop | status}
Anyone is free to use it and/or make it better. So far I hardcoded the
/dev/ttyS0 inside it to suit my needs. If someone can make it better
and parameterize it or make it get the device from
/var/spool/fax/config.ttyS0 or something, that'd be cool (me not much
of a scripter).
