First make sure that the script works. Put it anywhere you like (but
/mnt/kd/bin makes sense) then make it executable with chmod... use "ls -l"
to make sure that the 'x' attribute is set. Now from Astlinux command line
just run the script. Now use the 'ps' command to list all running
processes. You should see the check_fax process in this list. If it is not,
then something is wrong with the script file. (note, in checking things
right now to reply to you, I have found that the process ID placed into the
/tmp/check_fax.pid file is wrong for some reason. I need to look into
that.)
Note that the script sleeps for 30 seconds, then checks for new faxes. So
emailing is not instant.
If this works, then the next step is to have the script run automatically
every time Astlinux boots. This is done in the 'edit' tab of the user
interface to add a line to the 'rc.local' file. If this file is not listed
on the edit tab then create it in /mnt/kd. My /mnt/kd/rc.local file looks
like this...
#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/rc.local - run once at boot time
# Put any local setup commands in here:
# inadyn --input_file /etc/inadyn2.conf
# mkdir /root/usb
/mnt/kd/bin/check_fax
You do not need .sh at the end of the file name.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
