Re: [hylafax-users] sendfax -D not sending notifications

["Alcorn, Brian C" <Brian_Alcorn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It turns out the config file in /var/spool/hylafax/etc had some odd data corruption wherein the result was a call to “bin/notif” instead of “bin/notify”.  Once we identified the problem and replaced the file, everything started flowing normally.

 

I suspect the root cause involved using WinSCP in the editing and uploading process.  I have yet to go through the files with a fine tooth comb, but I bet I’ll some some Windows-weirdness.

Subject: [hylafax-users] sendfax -D not sending notifications

 

We are running hylafax 5.2.5 on CentOS 5.5 on Dell 2850 hardware.  On our production servers, in the mail.sh script, we are running the following command:

cat $RANDOMFAX/_message_ | faxmail -v -T $FROMPATH | sendfax -vv -n -D -G -f "$FROMPATH" -i "$JOBID" -d $TONUMBER

On our sandbox, and old production server, notifications of completed faxes are/were sending with no problem.  The issue seems to be with sendfax, because even with a manual command, while the fax goes through, no notification is ever sent.  All logs seem to indicate that there isn’t even an attempt to run bin/notify.  I have our manual command setup as follows:

sendfax -vv -n -D -G -f <email-address> -d <fax-number> <file>

 

Has anyone else experienced this?  Are there any options other than reinstalling Hylafax?

 

Thanks,
