Re: [hylafax-users] Save TIFFs generated

[Jeff Herring <jeffh@sldsi.com>]

I needto look at the original files generated.

So, this is what I did.

I noticed that the "temporary" tiff files were being placed in
the /var/spool/fax/docq directory in the form docnnnn.ps;71 or similar.
My input files to sendfax are .ps or .txt files.

Anyway, I wrote a "very" lame script that simply copied the files to another
directory so I could look at them. This allowed faxcron to remain unmodified
and do its job.

I ran the following script from the ../docq directory
(No flames please....It was late in the evening)

#!/bin/bash
# Save TIFFs to another directory for debug purposes
#
while :
do
   sleep 5

   for FILES in `find  -iname '*.*;*' `
   do
         cp -f ${FILES} ../tiffs
   done
done

This seemed to do the trick. Now I get to wade through about 7500 tiffs 
generated on the
system in the last 12 hours!

Regards,

-Jeff H.
