Correct or not, if it works, who cares? I have however identified, what I think is an 'oops'.
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?
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.
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.
