[hylafax-users] FaxDispatch & Faxrcvd

[David Elliott <David_Elliott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been using Hylafax very successfully over the last 6 months in a high
volume, receive only capacity.

I'd now like to combine a couple servers into a single server.

The received faxes must become PDFs and they must be copied
to a Windows server share. I'm currently using this command in faxrcvd

if [ -f $FILE ]
then
      $TIFF2PDF -o ${FILE}.pdf $FILE

fi

for the PDF conversion and it works great. I'm then using a Cron job to
copy the PDF to a mounted Windows share each minute.

Now I'd like to take expand on this by copying the fax to different Windows
share depending on which COM port the fax comes in on. It looks like
FaxDispatch can fit this bill using this scripting:

## and/or by device
FOLDER="/var/spool/hylafax/recvq/"
FULLPATH="${FOLDER}${FILENAME}.tif"
case "$DEVICE" in
ttyS14)   mv $FULLPATH /var/spool/hylafax/recvq/dept1/;;    # all faxes
received on ttyS14
ttyS15)   mv $FULLPATH /var/spool/hylafax/recvq/dept2/;;    # all faxes
received on ttyS15
esac

I'm confused as to whether FaxDispatch will override Faxrcvd though and
how to continue getting the PDFs.
