Re: [hylafax-users] Faxmail + notify



Dan,

This sounds very much like the problem I was having - my version of mawk didn't like some of the code in bin/notify, and so the e-mail would be sent with none of the variables set or parsed by the awk script.

You can verify this by checking your syslog for lines that contain "notify" and running the command yourself --

bin/notify "doneq/q146" "done" "1:17"

When I ran that command myself I got the error message:

awk: line 37: regular expression compile failed (missing operand)

For me, the solution was to modify the bin/notify script by searching for the line that reads:

gsub("*","",status);

...and changing it to:

gsub(/\*/,"",status);

If you get a similar error message running the notify command by hand, can you try the above fix and report back?

Thanks,
Andy MacNamara

On Freebsd it defaults to nawk, but I'm having the same problem with nawk,
and gawk.
In notify I changed


printf " No transcript available"

To

printf " No transcript available _ $COMFILE and $jobtag"

And the result is

No transcript available _ log/c and job .

Any ideas?

On another note What program calls notify?

Thanks for all the help and feedback

Could you please try using gawk as AWK in your setup.cache?
Otherwise you may have a look at the email sent yesterday in this list with
subject "awk bug in bin/notify"

and the body of the message is
"No transcript available."
I edited the notify script and can see that the job number isn't there, and
there for it can't find the log file


so my guess is the appropriate info isn't getting passed to notify.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

On another note.
Is there a flow chart laying around some where for hylafax/faxmail?

I think it goes something like this

program Sendmail -> faxmail -> hylafax|hfaxd -> faxspool -> faxq
config sendmail.m4 Hyla.conf|hfaxd.conf
