Re: [hylafax-users] Fax error, but fax file seems fine

I would recommend just doing it at the end of the script - then you will
have the files as soon as they are ready, as opposed to just on the half
hour. You also don't have to check for files in use; Files are not "in
use" except when actively being written to.

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.
