Re: [hylafax-users] R: problem with notify

["Siri Vias Khalsa" <sirivias.khalsa@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I do know that you need to rerun faxsetup after upgrading, this rebuilds
the setup.cache file. Also, many changes were made between 4.3.0 and
5.2.6 - one of them requires the FaxNotify script to be in place. It is
a small file, see below for details. Make sure that it is marked
executable and it runs for the hylafax user without any problems
(usually "uucp"). Try sudo -u uucp "command" to run something as that
user and see if you get error messages.

 I have never had to use FaxNotify if I specified -D on the sendfax
command
line along with -f <emailaddy>. The sender always got a confirmation for
success or failure from faxsend using ./bin/notify. I symlinked ./etc/
to
./bin/etc and the -D notify works after doing that. Something needs to
be
fixed in either setup.cache, ./bin/notify, or the faxsend program. Where
should I start looking? (I don't want to set absolute paths in notify,
but
that would fix the problem here)
