You don't need to hack faxqclean, just the bin/archive script (which is shell).





Wow, thats great. Just made life easier. I'm not sure what I'll do, but purhaps I'll change bin/archive to change the base directory name to the number plus the date; that should avoid clobbering. Then have it create an index file which could be quickly queried for information.


If anyone has some suggestions I might be able to make something useful for the project overall, assuming somethings wanted.

If you're feeling ambitious, I'd love to see the archive implemented via a SQL database - dealer's choice of backend, though I'm preferential to Firebird. Being able to have a complete log of activities - with copies of all received and sent faxes - stored in a searchable database would


Well, basically I have that already running for free. The trick is, I enhanced notify.awk to also send the fax as pdf together with the notification. So I have all sent and received faxes in public folders on the email server, which in one case is postgres and in a nother case a cyrus imap server. This should work fine with an exchange server, which I think, can use SQL-Server as Backend.

Can you share your notify.awk? I just picked up my copy of "sed & awk" - I guess it's time to start learning this stuff <g>.
