The ";30" is correct, and part of the file name.  But your shell process
is taking it to mean a new command.  you should be able to get around it
by doing something like:
   ... -o doc/doc22.ps\;30 ...
   ... -o 'doc/doc22.ps;30' ...

Hylafax does want the ;30 in the file name.

That is good.

Well - this is defienatly not HylaFAX as distributed by HylaFAX.org!  I
think you'll have to ask SuSE what is wrong with this, or somehow figure
out whay they are doing differently.

In a normally configured HylaFAX, there should be:
/var/spool/hylafax/bin/ps2fax
/var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.cache

You should be able to go to /var/spool/hylafax and run the command

	/bin/sh -c "bin/ps2fax -o 'docq/doc22.ps;30' -r 98 -w 1728 -l 280 -m 30 -1 docq/doc22.ps.22"

This is the exact command the normal HylaFAX would run.
