Bodo,

Thanks for all your suggestions.  Everything is working beautifully and much easier to understand.

Hello Marty,

the file is a bit too "sanitized". Since you made all e-mail addresses

the same, I cannot guess how exactly you want to distribute the

documents to your users.

I suggest to use something like user1@xxxxxxxxxxx, user2@xxxxxxxxxxx

etc. to make clear whether the addresses are the same or different.

 


| case "$DEVICE" in

|

|  ttyS14) SENDTO=xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;

|

|  ttyS0)  SENDTO= xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;

|

|  *)      SENDTO= xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;

|

| esac

 

Here is a bug in your shell script. The following case statement will

overwrite any SENDTO value you have set above because it has a

default(*) case

 

| case "$SENDER" in

|

|  *815*389*xxxx*)         SENDTO=

| xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;                 FILETYPE=tif;;

|

|  *61294xxxx *)           SENDTO= xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;

| FILETYPE=tif;;

[...]

|  *338*xxxx*)             SENDTO=

| xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;                  FILETYPE=tif;;

|

|  0)                      SENDTO=

| xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;                  FILETYPE=tif;;

|

|  *)                      SENDTO= xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;

FILETYPE=tif;;

|

| esac

 

If you set FILETYPE=tif in (nearly) every case, I suggest to do this

once before the case statement and optionally change it in some cases if

necessary.


You might want something like this:


FILETYPE=tif

SENDTO=

 

# first I set SENDTO based on SENDER

case "$SENDER" in

 

# note: there must not be a space after SENDTO=

~ *815*389*xxxx*)         SENDTO=user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ;;


~ *61294xxxx *) SENDTO=user2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ;;

[...]

~ *1*605*338*xxxx*)       SENDTO=user7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ;;

 

# example for a user that should get a different file format

~ *338*xxxx*)             SENDTO=user8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; FILETYPE=pdf ;;


~ 0) SENDTO=user9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;

# note: I do not set SENDTO in the default (*) case.

esac

# now I set SENDTO based on DEVICE only if it is not yet set

if [ -z "$SENDTO" ]

then

~  case "$DEVICE" in


~ ttyS14) SENDTO=user10@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;

~ ttyS0) SENDTO=user11@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;

~ *) SENDTO=user12@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;

~   esac

fi

 


Or you could do it the other way round that you always set a specific

user for some devices and select a user based on the sender for others.

Subject: [hylafax-users] $DEVICE in FaxDispatch

 

Hello,

 

HylaFAX version 4.2.1 built Fri Feb  4 12:26:48 EST 2005 for i686-pc-linux-gnu on Redhat Fedora Core 4.

2 external US Robotics modems on ttyS0 and ttyS14.

 

I’ve had a single modem (ttyS0) for several years.  Added a second modem (ttyS14) and want to redirect all faxes that come in on this second modem to a particular email address.

 

Prior to adding this second modem, I was using the $SENDER case statement to direct faxes to the proper person, and this part still works fine after adding the second modem.  But it is totally ignoring the $DEVICE case statement.

 

Can anyone see anything blatantly wrong with this?  Any ideas how to fix it?

 

Thanks,

Marty Westra
