Re: flexfax: faxrcvd script does not work

["Alan Sparks" <asparks@cpd.harris.com>]

Linking outside the spool may not work... I think you're chrooted to the
spool (someone correct me if I'm wrong)...

If that's not it, check your paths to executables -- running by hand, you
inherit your shell's PATH, which you wouldn't if HylaFAX is running the
script.
