Re: [hylafax-users] Post Send Information

Another problem.  The 'group id' returned by sendfax... is this a unique
number?  I found the xferfaxlog file, and it has the group...  I'm now
testing what happens when the send fails with this file...

Hmm, sendfax -w never returns on a job that doesn't succeed.  The log was
writtin to xferfaxlog, but the process never ended...

Requirements for an application I am developing say that I must let the user
know whether the document succeeded or failed. My current code fetches jobs
from a db table, and sends them off with sendfax.  I use the -w option so
that the child processes used to handle the jobs only return when the job
has completed.

After the job returns, I can look for 'SEND FAILED' and grab the error
message.  That makes it easy to spot failures, but if the log does NOT have
that line, is it always a success?  This is a send-only environment, so I'm
not worried about incoming stuff.

Also, can I derive the number of attempts by counting the ATDT's in the log
file?

Am I missing an easier way to do this?  Email notification isn't what I'm
looking for, I'd rather just check a file or something after the job is
completed.
