[hylafax-users] Cannot enable DynamicConfig

[Rupert Weber-Henschel <rupert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm pretty new to Hylafax. Installed it on Debian Etch, following the 
Debian howto at
  http://www.debianhowto.de/doku.php/de:howtos:sarge:hylafax_avm_isdn

Using a AVM B1 PCI 4.0.
Everything went smooth, sending and receiving faxes works. (And the 
flexibility of FaxDispatch is awesome. Adding LDAP support was a breeze)

But DynamicConfig has me absolutely frustrated. I just can't get the 
script to execute, and I don't no why. I feel dumb, as extensive 
googling suggests that I'm the only person on this planet with that problem.

Where exactly do I have to insert the 'DynamicConfig:' option?
I assume that config.faxCAPI was the right file?
I tried putting it everywhere: at the top of the file, in the faxCAPI 
subsection, and in the controller subsubsection.

I tried putting the script itself in /etc/hylafax, in 
/var/spool/hylafax/etc, and in /etc.

The script is world-executable.

All config files were copied from /etc/hylafax to /var/spool/hylafax/etc 
before restarting the daemons. -- even tried restarting the server just 
in case.

The first line of the script writes a temp file (so I could check if 
it's running), but that file never shows up. So I assume the script is 
never executed.

Thanks a lot to anybody who can help me out with this.

Here a some details:

================================

From /etc/hylafax/config.faxCAPI:

	DynamicConfig: /etc/hylafax/dynamic.sh

================================

fax:~# ls -l /etc/hylafax/dynamic.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 572 2007-12-13 00:10 /etc/hylafax/dynamic.sh

================================

fax:~# cat /etc/hylafax/dynamic.sh
#!/bin/sh

echo "$@" > /tmp/faxDynConf

DEVICE=$1; shift;
COUNT=1
while [ $# -ge 1 ]; do
    # The eval has $1 set yet, and this forces a variable-to-variable
    # assignment, allowing us to not need to do escaping
    eval CALLID$COUNT='$1'
    shift
    COUNT=$(($COUNT + 1))
done

# CALLID3 contains the last 4 digits of the called number
#echo "LocalIdentifier: +49.89.$CALLID3"
echo "FAXNumber: +49.89.$CALLID3"
