[hylafax-users] Help Faxcron: I don't want to delete received fax!
faxmaster
I'm using hylafax 4.4.4 on ubuntu 8.10
I want to receive a report from hylafax of sent / received fax,
So I try to use faxcron (monthly scheduled)
/usr/local/sbin/faxcron | mail -s "Hylafax Report" FaxMaster
It' working but I've found that this command also delete old fax in the
recvq folder. I don't want this!
How I can say to faxcron only to send report of fax without delete anything?
Best regards
Diego

what it considers old. See the faxcron man page for specifics, but
you'll want to pick some suitably large values for -rcv and and -log,
but probably not for -tmp and -info.

Subsequently you suggestion I've search in the hylafax's site the page
relevant to faxcron and I found that is clearly explained how to set the
parameters.
Thank you again for you fast and polite reply.
Best Regards

When I' trying to schedule faxcron with crontab, I've found that is already
called in etc/cron.weekly
Here below the file "hylafax"
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
test -f /usr/sbin/faxcron || exit 0
test -f /usr/sbin/faxqclean || exit 0
test -f /var/spool/hylafax/log/xferfaxlog || exit 0
# Rotate the HylaFAX logfile
savelog -c 5 /var/log/hylafax/hylafax.log >/dev/null
# HylaFAX routine maintenance script
savelog -c 5 /var/log/hylafax/faxcron.log >/dev/null
faxcron -info 35 -log 35 -rcv 100 -tmp 15 -mode 664 >>
/var/log/hylafax/faxcron.log 2>&1
# HylaFAX queue cleaner process (3024000s = 35 day)
savelog -c 5 /var/log/hylafax/faxqclean.log >/dev/null
faxqclean -t -j 3024000 -a >> /var/log/hylafax/faxqclean.log 2>&1
-------------------------
First I don't understand what is the meaning
of the first three line "test -f etc.."
Second because I don't want that the sent/receive faxes are deleted
I 'm thinking to modify the line of faxcron with value -rcv 3650 (10 years)
And completely remove the line of faxqclean
Did you think this will correct ?
Thanks Diego

faxcron will deleted "old" stuff. The standard solution is just change what
it considers old. See the faxcron man page for specifics, but you'll want
to pick some suitably large values for -rcv and and -log, but probably not
for -tmp and -info.

Hello,
I am looking at a system that the Makefile tells me has
Hylafax 4.4.4 and the Ports @ freebsd.org tell me this is the latest
and greatest.
The install was done in Jan 08 and 4.4.4 looks like it's a
Dec 2007 release, is this the most current, or should I be looking at something
latter / a more current release ?
TIA.

more confusing. HylaFAX is v4.4.4 and HylaFAX+ is v5.2.9. The source from
hylafax.org is the "original" HylaFAX, whereas HylaFAX+ is a separately
updated version hosted on SourceForge. If your port is from the HylaFAX tree
then it is current per the hylafax.org web site.

It makes sure that those files (faxcron, faxqclean, xferfaxlog) exist.

Well, it's my opinion that if you need to archive your faxes somewhere
long-term then you should do it somewhere else other than the HylaFAX
queue directories. I think that it's generally a bad idea to never run
faxqclean and to never delete files from recvq. BUT, you may get away
with it without any trouble.
Thanks,
Lee.

You need to run 'faxcron'. Look in your cronttabs or in /etc/cron.daily,
etc.
Thanks,
Lee.

"faxcron -info 35 -tmp 15 -mode 664 >> /var/log/hylafax/faxcron.log 2>&1"
.and also commented out the "faxqclean" line.
Will that leave all the sent faxes in "/var/spool/hylafax/docq" and all received faxes in "/var/spool/hylafax/recvq"? If so, is there any issue with doing so?
Thanks,

delete faxes older than 1 week.
I have the same problem , now I have put the following command in
cron.weekly, it seems to work but I'm not sure. 3650 days = 10 years
"faxcron -info 3650 -log 3650 -rcv 3650 -tmp 15 -mode 664 >>
/var/log/hylafax/faxcron.log 2>&1"

faxcron -info 3650 -log 3650 -rcv 3650 -tmp 15 -mode 664 >> /var/log/hylafax/faxcron.log 2>&1
faxqclean -A -t -j 3024000 -a >> /var/log/hylafax/faxqclean.log 2>&1
Not sure if I need -a given I've got -A but still, hopefully all incoming faxes will just sit there in "/var/spool/hylafax/recvq" and all outgoing faxes will be archived off after a month or so into their own directory in "/var/spool/hylafax/archive".
Thanks again,
Paul

You can find a sample that does this using procmail here:
http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/howto/clients/RelayFax.php
And here is a sample that uses shell, but it gets the fax number from
the e-mail address and not the subject header:
http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/howto/faxing.php#ss5.4
Thanks,
Lee.

HylaFAX+ has extended ModemDialCmd features which will allow you to do
this. See:
http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/docs/hylafax-differences.php#modemsetorigincmd
There is an example of how to do this with t38modem, but if you want the
approach that you've described:
ModemDialCmd: ATDT%d_%s

I've used it recently (last week in fact) to send FAXes in the UK. A few
weeks ago I tried to send one to a Swiss number but that failed because
there was no TPC coverage there.

I think that sender and owner (text strings) are incompatible with
Caller*ID Number (faxnumber).
Maybe I do not understand what you are asking.
Thanks,
Lee.
