Hello all on "hylafax-users" !

OK, seems I managed to find the solution to my problem.
I checked and checked and checked and finally I tried something
I found on some hylafax support group . I am sorry I cannot
recall the exact link.

Here's what worked for me :

. System : ubuntu 12.04 x86 Server
. Hylafax v

from bash :

cd /etc/cron.weekly/=20
vi hylafax



found this line :

faxcron -info 35 -log 3035 -rcv 35 -tmp 15 -mode 664 >> /var/log/hylafax/=
faxcron.log 2>&1

commented it out and changed it to this :

faxcron -info 35 -tmp 15 -mode 664 >> /var/log/hylafax/faxcron.log 2>&1



I , now, have all sent faxes on my respective hylafax client s/w on any c=
lient pc.

Hope this helps someone,

Regards,

s.
