[asterisk-users] How set debug file for RxFax application

[khalid touati]

Hi Juan,
my system is an asterisk 1.2 on gentoo, it is configured to receive faxes
through rxfax and then to use fax2email to convert the tiff to pdf and send
it to front desk:

exten =>
3772,1,Set(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},GMT-5,%F_%T_${CALLERIDNUM}.tif)})
exten =>
3772,n,Set(FAXFILENOEXT=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},GMT-5,%F_%T_${CALLERIDNUM})})
exten => 3772,n,rxfax(${FAXFILE}|debug)
exten => 3772,n,System('/usr/local/bin/fax2mail -p -f "${FAXFILENOEXT}"
--cid-number ${CALLERIDNUM} --cid-name "${CALLERIDNAME}" --dest-name
"Sir/Madam"')

fax does not fail all the time, when the fax is failing it says in the fax
log :
Fax file /var/spool/asterisk/fax/2010-04-05_10:48:20_3103789385.tif not
found.
that means no tif was generated.
i went ahead and turned debugging on span (ISDN pri line), i did compare the
debug info of a failed fax and a successful fax and they look exactly the
same. that's why i am looking to debug the rxfax or any other party that get
involved and i forget to check.
