Re: [hylafax-users] Strange printouts

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that solved it.  This morning, lpstat
shows 130 waiting to print:

(mercifully, the thing ran out of paper).

I had a 'wedged' problem last night, caused by a hardware problem.  Since
that was fixed everything seems OK.  Coincidence?

Hah!  Didn't think so.  bin/wedged says

if [ -f etc/FaxDispatch ]; then
    . etc/FaxDispatch
fi

So.  Any good way (other than simply commenting out those lines) to tell
wedged _not_ to do that?
