Hi, 

Configuration SuSE 8.1
Hylafax 4.1.3
modem external Multitech

I have written a bash script to send faxes using HylaFax.
I am trying to take the number from the first row in the "file", but
then sendfax is showing errors in xferfaxlog file (the number is dialed,
but when the transmitting of fax should begin, the line is dropped).
If I assign the numer directly to a variable, then everything works.
The only difference is in the assignment of variable number.
 What is the difference in the variable? Why doesn't sendfax like it?


Working script (but then I can't have a dynamic number):

#!/bin/bash
cat > /tmp/faxtemp$$
number="0407715761"
nrlines=`wc -l /tmp/faxtemp$$ | cut -c0-7`
nrlines=`expr $nrlines - 1`
tail -n $nrlines /tmp/faxtemp$$ > /tmp/faxtemp_$$
file="/tmp/faxtemp$$"
nnumber="0$number"
sendfax -n -D -s a4 -d $nnumber  $file
rm /tmp/faxtemp$$
rm /tmp/faxtemp_$$
exit 0
-----
xferfaxlog OK line:
05/23/03 13:38  SEND    00000094        modem   83      ""     
root@linux.local        "00407715761"   ""      4193919 0       0:37   
0:00    "Busy signal detected"



Not working:

#!/bin/bash
cat > /tmp/faxtemp$$
number=`head /tmp/faxtemp$$ -n 1 |awk  '{print $1}'`
nrlines=`wc -l /tmp/faxtemp$$ | cut -c0-7`
nrlines=`expr $nrlines - 1`
tail -n $nrlines /tmp/faxtemp$$ > /tmp/faxtemp_$$
file="/tmp/faxtemp$$"
nnumber="0$number"
sendfax -n -D -s a4 -d $nnumber  $file
rm /tmp/faxtemp$$
rm /tmp/faxtemp_$$
exit 0
