Thanks for the note. I'll read the send-pr man page and take the appropriate steps. Just so everyone is totally clear on this: The problem appears to be FreeBSD (/bin/sh), *not* HylaFAX. I am able to work around the problem by hacking up the HylaFAX configure shell script. I am far from the most competent shell script programmer. Perhaps one of you folks could confirm what Zahemszky has told me - that "return" should return the exit status of the previous command. Sounds reasonable to me. Anyway, the same test performed on 2.1.7.1-R and 2.2.0-R yield different results. On 2.1.7.1-R, return returns the exit status of the previous command. On 2.2.0-R, return returns 0 regardless of the exit status of the previous command. This is why the HylaFAX configure script fails. thanks again, -scotto On Wed, 16 Apr 1997, Julian H.
