I downloaded and installed the source rpm and found a doc that suggested running # strings /sbin/mgetty | grep new_fax to get expected location of new_fax script It returned: /etc/mgetty+sendfax/new_fax I checked permissions of path to /etc/mgetty+sendfax/new_fax and on my system is read and exec to all users all the way from / I guess I never pointed out that it still isn't working Receiving faxes would be a useful feature to many people (when working), could it be setup by default when installing the sendfax rpm? That way the user would just have to get the modem configured and maybe uncomment some default inittab lines to get it to work. Any chance for a cron script to run every five minutes to process any NEW faxes in the incoming fax spool directory with the new_fax script until this gets fixed? It's not a preferrable solution since the caller_id and time will likely be lost and multi-page faxes won't be grouped together in email notifications but is better than nothing PS I have confirmed that the new_fax script works as a command line script as per the docs in the new_fax.all directory With mgetty -x6 /dev/ttyS4 in /etc/inittab I get 06/09 15:41:57 yS4 notify: '/etc/mgetty+sendfax/new_fax 0 '15195555555' 1 /var/spool/fax/incoming/ffee4e2c1S4-15192715353.01 >/dev/console 2>&1 </dev/null' and the sucker works! I wonder why it didn't before Back to testing .. I'll let you know Just clearing out old bugs here. This does seem to work OK (mgetty-1.1.31) |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux) Description of problem: After Upgrade from RH80 to RH90 with the same configuration for mgetty, the FAX_NOTIFY_PROGRAM (new_fax) is not exececuted. The faxfile is stored correctly in fax/spool/incoming. Under RH80 with mgetty-1.1.30-0.8.0 it works ok. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mgetty-1.1.30-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. RH80 works ok 2. RH90 the /etc/mgetty+sendfax/new_fax is not beeing executed 3. Copying /etc/mgetty+sendfax/* to a machine with RH80 works ok 4. Compiling mgetty from original source-tarball does the same Actual Results: Works on older versions of redhat linux but not on RH90 Expected Results: Should work on RH90 too. Additional info: Maybe a problem of the newer version of gcc ???
