4.1 Using Command Files

You can use command files with CompuFax. This can be very useful for routine work or large tasks. Command files can reduce the possibility of errors.

For example, let us say we create a command file, REPORT_SEND.COM, which is to send the same weekly report to three different locations:

$ FAX SHOW QUEUE

$ FAX SEN D REPORT.TXT / N UMBER= 1-213-428-5253 $ FAX SEN D REPORT.TXT / N UMBER= 1-512-953-2605 $ FAX SEN D REPORT.TXT / N UMBER= 1-805-206-9210

$ FAX SHOW QUEUE

Next we execute it:

$ @REPORT_SEN D

CompuFax queue report as of 30-MAY-1995 13:34:41.69 0 FAX server queue entries

CompuFax queue report as of 30-MAY-1995 13:34:44.00 Conversion queue:
