NAME
faxrcvd - HylaFAX notification script for received facsimile
SYNOPSIS
${SPOOL}/bin/faxrcvd
qfile
devid
commid
error-msg
cidnumber
cidname
DESCRIPTION
bin/faxrcvd
is the command script invoked by the facsimile server whenever
a facsimile is received.
The default script sends electronic mail to the
FaxMaster
user describing the content of the facsimile and other useful information
such as the time spent receiving the document.
The arguments are:
- qfile
-
the pathname of the received
TIFF
file relative to the root of the spooling hierarchy.
- devid
-
the modem device on which the facsimile was received.
- commid
-
the communication identifier for the inbound call.
- error-msg
-
an error message that is non-null if an error was encountered
during the receive operation.
- cidnumber
-
the value of
CIDNumber
when using
QualifyCID
- cidname
-
the value of
CIDName
when using
QualifyCID
NOTES
This script can route facsimile directly to the intended receipient.
To do this create a shell script
etc/FaxDispatch
in the spooling area that sets
SENDTO
to the receiver's electronic mail address. For example,
case "$SENDER" in
*1*510*526*1212*) SENDTO=sam;; # Sam's test rig in Berkeley
*1*415*390*1212*) SENDTO=raster@asd;; # 7L Xerox room, used for scanning
*5107811212) SENDTO=peebles@mti;; # stuff from home
esac
case "$DEVICE" in
ttyS1) SENDTO=john;; # all faxes received on ttyS1
ttyLT0) SENDTO=mary@home;; # all faxes received on ttyLT0
esac
case "$CIDNUMBER" in
435*) SENDTO=lee; FILETYPE=pdf;; # all faxes from area code 435
5059627777) SENDTO=amy; FILETYPE=tif;; # Amy wants faxes in TIFF
esac
Note that you must match any embedded white space.
The facsimile will be sent as a MIME-encoded PostScript document
as default.
