Faxes looping #91

Open rw180800 opened 5 months ago

rw180800 commented 5 months ago

We have had a few occasions now where faxes have been looping and users are getting multiple emails with fax notifications. The fax server is continually retrying even if successful. Where can I go to stop these?

rw180800 commented 5 months ago

only way to stop this is to reboot. Is there a way to see what may be stuck and delete/fix?

Hi Guys, This is getting more frequent. Am I reaching a limit of some kind and overloading the server? We get a lot of inbound faxes, but only about 8-10 outbound users send faxes.

Inbound seems to be ok, it is when someone sends a fax that it can go on an extended loop..

Is there a way I can set a limit on the number of times a fax can be sent/retried regardless of fail or success?

Please update the /usr/ictcore/core/Message/Document.php file with following code

exec("export HOME=$home_dir && export PATH=$include_path && $office_binary --headless --convert-to pdf $sourceFile --outdir $target_dir");

to

$cmd = "export Home=$home_dir && export Path=$include_path && $office_binary --headless --convert-to pdf $sourceFile --outdir $target_dir"; exec($cmd);

and in case of loop, please kill the following services and try again

pkill soffice.b
pkill oosplash
pkill php
service sendmail restart
