Thread: Problem with BGFAX2 /send  (1/2)
  Date: 24-Jun-97, 10:17pm  (Ref# 5444)

Hallo All!

I'm trying to send a fax via cmdline, but it doesnt work. Recieving works fine
on OS/2-Port H3. I'm runnning Warp3, the modem is on COM2.

The call is:

@call SENDFAX c:\mb_syst\msg2fax\faxtemp\22223137.0 5253188

SENDFAX.CMD:
@echo off                                                                 
rem  ===  Check if the file is there                                      
set BGFAX=c:\mb_syst\bgfax                                                
if not exist %1 goto exit                                                 
c:\mb_syst\bgfax\bgfax2  /SEND %1 %2                                      
rem  ===  Run the fax send software (%1=FAX FILENAME %2=FAX PHONENUMBER)  
rem  ===  Check to see if the fax software sent it and delete if so.      
if errorlevel 5 goto sent_ok                                              
if errorlevel 1 goto sent_error                                           
echo Systemfehler beim Senden von %1 an %2 mit BGFAX2                     
goto end                                                                  

resulting Error-Msg:
OS2/BGFAX/UART1: {Open Port}: 32
Systemfehler beim Senden von c:\mb_syst\msg2fax\faxtemp\22223137.0 an 5253188
mit  BGFAX2

what's the problem?

Always keep cool!

This means the port is already open by another application.  Instead of
shelling to BGFAX2 from your mailer, try dumping the mailer first, then
running BGFAX2.
