faxrunqd problem

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Forgive me, my Perl is weak.

I'm using faxrunqd (v. 1.35, run from init) to process my outgoing fax
queue.  I have one little problem when it comes to re-queuing faxes.

I've done a little demo of my problem.  I send a fax which fails due to a
wrong phone number.  I go into the ougoing/F001447 directory, fix the
number in JOB.suspended, and mv JOB.suspended JOB.  However, the job never
gets sent.  I can queue up a new job, and it'll be processed, but the old
job remains.  See below.

This is my faxrunqd -d -v log.  It goes from restarting faxrunqd (in debug
mode), to requeuing a fax, and finally queuing and sending a new fax.

At this point, I submit my new fax

Now, I can run faxq and see my job is waiting:

oscar:devin> faxq
F001447/JOB: queued by devin. 1 page(s) to 2055191. pri=6.

If I kill faxrunqd (and init restarts it), the job will be processed right
away.

This is on a SCO OpenServer 5 machine, with Perl 5.0, patchlevel 4
subversion 4.  TIA for any suggestions.
