Faxes sent multiple times

[Frank Becker]

Hello dear readers!

Unfortunately I have another problem with capisuite. The outgoing faxes
are placed in an spool-dir outsite the capisuite-spooldirs (e.g.
/home/faxspool) and a cronjob converts the outgoing documents in
postscript and send it away using capisuitefax.

The problem now is, that the faxes are sent three times to the same number.

I'm using the following bash-script to send the outgoing docuuments on a
Debian Woody machine:

#!/bin/bash
# convert all outgoing documents to postscript
cd /home/tex_spool
ls *tex >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
for i in *tex; do

# converts the outgoing documents to postscript
/root/bin/convert_tex2 $i

done
fi
# send all converted faxes via capisuitefax
ls *ps >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
for i in *ps ; do

# the filenames for the documents are
# the faxnumber followed by a or b
# e.g. 0561123456a.ps or 0561123456b.ps
capisuitefax -d `echo $i|tr -d ab.ps` $i
mv $i /home/gesendete_faxe
done
fi


I cannot find an error in the script so I think that there is a
misconfiguration of capisuite or there may be a bug.

Thanx for reading.

Ok, sorry for my fast posting. The problem is solved.

The used script was executed every minute. But to enqueue 50 faxes takes
more than one minute so the script processed the remaining faxes.
Now cron executes the script every hour and that problem disappeared.

Thanx for reading.
