Can I send a fax without having access to the UNIX shell?
Yes. You can do this by using the autosend directory feature.The autosend directory is specifically intended to be used for automatic fax processing when users do not have access to the UNIX shell and, therefore, are not able to submit a fax request from the command line. Users can deposit files in this ‘autosend’ directory for automatic transmission. The Fax Scheduler vfaxcmd daemon polls this directory every five seconds. However, the file or files that are to be transmitted must have a TAG or BAT file extension, and adhere to certain specifications outlined in the VSI-FAX Gold Administrators Guide.
