I have an external script to move and post-process the files, which is  
kicked off by cron every hour/half-hour.  They are not being e- 
mailed.  The script is supposed to check for open files and only copy  
files which are not open.

	for f in /var/spool/hylafax/recvq/*.tif;do fuser "$f">/dev/null 2>&1|| 
mv "$f" /var/spool/hylafax/temp/;done

Maybe this is failing to detect some open files, but then I wonder why  
the image would be perfect?  I should be missing random parts, no?

That's probably the best method.  Since I'm comfortable with shell  
script I did it that way, but I guess I should learn how to do it in  
the "official" file.
