Re: [hylafax-users] Sending both PS piped to sendfax as well as a separate file

I would to create an on-the-fly PostScript cover letter from some HTML and append a separate PDF file. The following almost works:



echo "<html><body><h1>Heading</h1><p>Some HTML output which makes up my cover letter...</p></body></html>" |

htmldoc --format ps3 --bodyfont Helvetica --header ... --footer ... --webpage - |

sendfax -n -m -f "John Doe" -d "555-555-1212" somefile.pdf



If I do not include a separate file (ie. somefile.pdf), the HTML gets faxed over as desired. When I include it, however, only the separate file gets transmitted. How can I make both to be sent?


echo "<html><body><h1>Heading</h1><p>Some HTML output which makes up my cover letter...</p></body></html>" |

htmldoc --format ps3 --bodyfont Helvetica --header ... --footer ... --webpage - > /tmp/tmpfile;

sendfax -n -m -f "John Doe" -d "555-555-1212" /tmp/tmpfile somefile.pdf;
rm -f /tmp/tmpfile

Thanks.

Lee.
