Thanks Fricke,
I will try this out ASAP, even so I am sure you have given me enough to work
with.

Thanks again.

Hi Olly,

for adding the cover to the fax I wrote and changed some scripts. It's
not very elegant, but it's working :-)

*Step 1:*
Write a new script and past it "between" hfaxd and the command which is
responsible for sending a fax. This is normally defined in etc/config:
<SNIP>
SendFaxCmd:            /usr/local/bin/c2faxsend
</SNIP>

Replace this entry with the new script, i.e.
#SendFaxCmd:            /usr/local/bin/c2faxsend
SendFaxCmd:            /usr/local/bin/c2faxsend_new

The new script should contain:

# What's the name of the fax?
NOTIFY_TEMP_01="`cat $3 | grep ":docq/doc"`"
# Is there a cover?
NOTIFY_TEMP_02="`cat $3 | grep -c ".cover"`"
if [ $NOTIFY_TEMP_02 == "1" ]; then
    # NO
    PSFILE="`echo $NOTIFY_TEMP_01 | cut -d":" -f4`"
else
    # YES
    PSCOV1="`echo $NOTIFY_TEMP_01 | cut -d":" -f4`"
    PSCOV2="`echo $PSCOV1 | cut -d" " -f1`"
    PSCOVR="/var/spool/fax/$PSCOV2"
    # Make a copy of the cover with an unambiguous filename
    NOTIFY_TEMP_03="`cat $3 | grep "killtime:" | cut -d":" -f2`"
    cp /var/spool/fax/$PSCOV2
/var/spool/fax/tmp/"$NOTIFY_TEMP_03"BYc2fs_Covr.ps
fi
# Call the original faxsending - command
# $1: parameter "-m"
# $2: Device-ID
# $3: qfile

/usr/local/bin/c2faxsend "$1" "$2" "$3"
# Exit, and don't forget the status
exit $?


*Step 2:*
Modify your bin/notify:
<SNIP>
# Name of the log-file
QFILE=$1
# Is there a cover?
NOTIFY_TEMP_02="`cat $QFILE | grep -c ".cover"`"
if [ $NOTIFY_TEMP_02 == "1" ]; then
    # NO
    PSFILE="`echo $NOTIFY_TEMP_01 | cut -d":" -f4`"
else
    # YES
    NOTIFY_TEMP_01="`cat $QFILE | grep ":docq/doc"`"
    # What's the name of the fax?
    PSFILE="`echo $NOTIFY_TEMP_01 | cut -d":" -f7`"
    # Rebuild the name of the cover-page
    NOTIFY_TEMP_04="`cat $QFILE | grep "killtime:" | cut -d":" -f2`"
    PSCOVR=/var/spool/fax/tmp/"$NOTIFY_TEMP_04"BYc2fs_Covr.ps
    # Create the new fax including the cover
    cat $PSCOVR > /var/spool/fax/tmp/faxfinished.ps
    cat $PSFILE >> /var/spool/fax/tmp/faxfinished.ps
    PSFILE=/var/spool/fax/tmp/faxfinished.ps
fi
# Build the new pdf-file
/usr/bin/ps2pdf13 "$PSFILE" /var/spool/fax/tmp/faxfinished.pdf
1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
</SNIP>

Et voilà, there's the fax including the coverpage!

I hope that's useful!

Greetings
Andreas Fricke
