[hylafax-users] Issue following upgrade to 4.2.2rc1

[Laker Netman <laker_netman@xxxxxxxxx>]

TWIMC: I thought some more about my scripting faux
pas. I know better than to hard code something,
particularly when the value of one variable has been
passed of to another. So, I went back to the source of
my info
(http://www.hylafax.org/setup-advanced.html#FaxRcvd)
and found this:
<quote>Another common request is to automatically
print received facsimile as they arrive. This is easy
to do by editing the faxrcvd script to use a program
such as fax2ps or tiff2ps to convert the TIFF/F file
and then submit the resulting PostScript; e.g.

      $TIFFBIN/fax2ps $1 | lp
<end quote>
Ah ha! It may be worth updating this info, as using
this form in the 4.2.2 version of faxrcvd won't work.
The line should read:
      $TIFFBIN/fax2ps $FILE | lp

Regards, Laker
