Here is a simple script to get the number of faxes sent. In Zabbix record this as a delta change and you will get faxes sent in the last 24 hours. You can also use it for faxes sent per minute. #!/bin/sh tail -n 1000 /var/spool/hylafax/etc/xferfaxlog | grep “`date +”%D”` `date +”%H”`” | grep SEND

There is nothing more difficult than making a custom cover sheet for Hylafax. Of all the programming languages I have ever glanced at, Postscript is by far the most cryptic. I spent about 6 hours the other day trying to follow the instructions on the official Hylafax tweaking page. .

I want my faxes to come to my email! This capability has been around for a while with several services. The first of these was probably efax which touts free fax numbers in the area of your choosing (20 page/month limit).

HylaFAX is the leading fax server for Unix-like computer systems. It uses a client-server design and supports the sending and receiving of faxes as well as text pages, on any scale from low to very high volumes, if necessary making use of large numbers of modems. It is free software and can be used commercially without charge.
