DFaddHylaClient — Create the symbolic links necessary for accessing HylaFAX on a DFdiscover server

Synopsis

DFaddHylaClient

Description

DFdiscover uses HylaFAX to send and receive faxes. However, as installed by the DFdiscover INSTALL program, HylaFAX is not fully configured to run on a fax server workstation. DFaddHylaClient makes the links necessary to allow HylaFAX to operate.

Each workstation that will be used for receiving incoming faxes or sending faxes, must have this utility command run on it. The command must be run by someone with super-user privileges and needs to be run only once per workstation (unless the location of the DFdiscover software is subsequently changed).

As distributed, HylaFAX expects to find all of the fax resources it needs in the /opt/hylafax directory. However, those resources are actually in /opt/dfdiscover/$MACHINE/hylafax. DFaddHylaClient makes symbolic links to resolve this inconsistency. Additionally, DFaddHylaClient creates a HylaFAX work directory in /var/spool/fax. If the directory already exists, the necessary HylaFAX files are copied into the directory.

[Note]Note

This program is generally executed as part of the HylaFAX configuration in a new DFdiscover install, and subsequently never needs to be executed again.

Options
