[hylafax-users] faxrcvd hangs and doesn't route.



Hi.
I'm having diffrent sort of problems. When I seem to have solved one
another arises. I finally recieved a fax. Earlier I only got handshake
problems for incomming calls, but seems OK now.
However when an incomming fax comes in the faxrcvd is launched nut
hangs. Hope someone can help me debug this.

What does the "route to <unspecified>" mean? Is it trying
to send the fax somewhere?

Here,at the end, Faxgetty should be resetting the modem and I should be
viewing
".............MODEM U.S. ROBOTICS 56K FAX" but I'm not. Why?
The modem is not resetting......
Infact, faxstat gives me (after 10minutes for a 1 page fax):

[root@gio root]# faxstat -s
HylaFAX scheduler on gio.geoform.home: Running
Modem ttyS1 (0871222222): Receiving from "+39 0871 11111"

The only change I made towards the config.ttyS0 (USR 56K Fax Modem) was
changing AT&FAA=1 to AT&FAA=0. I read this change on the ML archieves.

I did a 'ps -ae' and found out that the faxrcvd script is hanginig.
Shouldn't it terminate after finishing the recieving process?

So I decided to give a SIGTERM to the faxrcvd and the modem magically
got resetted. I'm suspecting it was the no route message that cuased
this problem. This is what I got after the kill process:

Jun 12 08:41:29 giove FaxGetty[1669]: MODEM U.S. ROBOTICS 56K FAX /

I don't think it's the FaxDispatch that made the problem:

[root@gio root]# cat /var/spool/hylafax/etc/FaxDispatch  
case "$SENDER" in
*1*510*526*1212*) SENDTO=sam;;          # Sam's test rig in Berkeley
esac
case "$DEVICE" in
ttyS1)            SENDTO=pippo;;         # all faxes received on ttyS1
esac
case "$CIDNUMBER" in
0872*)        SENDTO=fabio; FILETYPE=pdf;; # all faxes from area code
0872
esac

where fabio and pippo are regular system accounts on the fax server
machine. The faxrcvd man page says that FaxDisPatch is a shell script so
must I put #!/bin/bash as first line? Nor is Faxmaster getting any
notifications. In the /etc/aliases (not /var/spool/hylafax/etc ) a
inserted a row:

[root@giove root]# cat /etc/aliases 
FaxMaster: pippo@geoform.home

Is it correct?

BTW. Why don't I get reciepts for sent faxes? Maybe this is connected to
faxrcvd malfunction (prior mentioned hangiing of faxrcvd.....)?

thanks and greetings.
