Currently when Hylafax starts it is going to send all the queued faxes. What if I want to send a fax after that send, do I have to wait until Hylafax is restarted? My feeling would be to write a script that does the fax modem thing and have that script run periodically and before the box is shutdown via cron. That way if I send a fax at 10:25am and the Hylafax software was started at 8am, I know that the fax is actually going to leave the building at 11am.
Maybe you should read the Hylafax manuals instead of guessing? Reading the manual would have been a good idea, but guessing is so much fun. :) If I had Hylafax running or hell, even installed, I'd RTFM 1st.
It would seem that you need a script to execute on boot to start Hylafax after the system is running. I'm almost certain that with a line at the end of your boot script you could get Hylafax started. Starting that would run the faxmodem command, if you don't follow my idea above.
You haven't read the manuals at all have you? This is all documented. Why would I want to read the manuals. A person only reads manuals when they've exhausted every other resource. :) Asides I was not the original question poster, whom I assume HAS read the manuals and is still stuck. I just put in my 2c worth on what I thought. I thought wrong and need tuition. That's why I am on SLE to learn when to RTFM and when to try something else.
I had a look in the SuSE help on my system for boot script and found something about starting software on boot. Maybe it will help. I'll mail you the help page pvtly if you do not come right.
Hylafax already does this for you in a better and simpler manner. RTFM. I am starting to take offence here. I offer possible help that is not in your precious FM and I get told to RTFM. I say again, I am NOT the person with the original problem. Thinking outside the box sometimes does help.
Case closed and I will not respond further. Hylton
