Re: [hylafax-users] Received Faxes

[John Hudak <jjhudak@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'll preface this by saying that I am generally familiar with the internals of hylafax but have not done specific modifications to it.  What I will say may be off base and would defer to the more knowledgeable ppl who subscribe too this list.

My impression is that the receive queue processing is fairly tightly coupled to the server, so moving the queue location to another machine would most likely cause performance hits (i.e. added latency) as well as adding another level of complexity to the receive fax processing. 
What would seem to make more sense are two possible approaches, both based on a separate task that would read from the receiveq directory and communicate it to the other machine.  This task could be:
1) spawned by a fax receive done signal that would copy the fax (located in /var/spool/hylafax/recvq) over to the target machine. If you look at the fax receive script I think there are hooks to do something like this.  
2) launched via crontab.

One approach is event driven, the other is a periodic task. 
I would search the hylafax mail list logs and look for suggested solutions...IIRC, this topic has been discussed before.

Hello,

Is it possible to move the recvq to a remote machine?

We are acquiring a new medical records system that can distribute
faxes.  It is required that the faxes be in a particular folder.  We
have a hylafax server already in place and I would like to move the
recvq to the new machine and allow the new software to distribute our
faxes.

Is this possible and if so a fairly detailed description of how would
be appreciated as I am quite new to hylafax.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Jim
