NAME

faxrcvd - HylaFAX notification script for received facsimile  

SYNOPSIS

/var/spool/hylafax/bin/faxrcvd qfile devid commid error-msg cidnumber  

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
 

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. The attachment filetype is controlled by the FILETYPE shell variable, and can be controlled as shown above. Current filetype options are ``ps'', ``tif'', and ``pdf''. Consult the shell script for details.
