FAXRCVD(8C)FAXRCVD(8C)NAMEfaxrcvd - HylaFAX notification script for received facsim-
ile
SYNOPSIS
/var/spool/fax/bin/faxrcvd qfile devid commid error-msg
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.
NOTES
This script can route facsimile directly to the intended
receipient if the sender's identity is well-known. To do
this create a shell script etc/FaxDispatch in the spooling
area that sets the receiver's electronic mail address
according to the sender's TSI. 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
*) SENDTO=;; # don't know who to send it to
esac
Note that you must match any embedded white space and you
should direct any facsimile that are not dispatched to a
``null person''. The facsimile will be sent as a MIME-
encoded PostScript document; consult the shell script for
details.
