Re: [hylafax-users] mail2fax not running on Hylafax+ 5.4.2

Kane,

it is exactly as I supposed. The script does not set PATH, so its
environment variables have the values that are inherited from the invoking
MTA.

Add these two lines (as I already wrote) at the beginning of the script. As
it seems you are not familiar with shell programming, here an extract of the
script:

--------- begin of extract ----------
# We need to make sure we handle all these possibilities for
# both TO and FROM situations.  Return-Path is different.
#

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export PATH

RANDOMFAX=/tmp/mail2fax.$$
mkdir $RANDOMFAX

cat >> $RANDOMFAX/_message_

# Uncomment the following three lines for debugging.
-------- end of extract ---------

HTH

Regards

Stefan

PS: To avoid misunderstandings: This is absolutely basic Unix admin
knowledge.

Hi;

I am attaching my script file of mail2fax.sh, and how can I change the path
here.

Thanks!

Kane,

it seems that /usr/local/bin is not in $PATH at this point.

Note: Do not except PATH to be always set in the same way as it is in your
interactive shell. Often it contains just /bin:/usr/bin.
If in doubt, populate it in your script:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export PATH

HTH

Kind regards

Stefan
