World: r3wp

Graham, Ah, yes: maybe he lacks the -cs on the shebang

maybe that should be addressed somehow in the future? The question 
is, if it is easily solvable. OTOH even php has some imaging modules.

just use core to call imagemagick

view functionality for cgi = Command.

Graham, that sounds a bit strange, however, i would rather add a 
new start/stop script for cheyenne rather than put it in rc.local.

I'll give it a go ...

As per btiffin's suggestion, I added "&" at the end of the script 
name in my S99local file to background Cheyenne, and it is now working 
:)

Graham;  Complete aside...and very dependant on firewall setiings. 
 (I have a firewall/router so the local unix box is not double firewalled...yet) 
but this lets you run Cheyenne from user process.

#!/bin/bash
#

# This script is to be run from root to allow Cheyenne to be run 
as a user
#

# NOTE: dev is eth0, spike and chester are eth1 (eth0 for the firewire)

#       this script defaults to eth1, so no longer functions on dev
#
# redirect external incoming port 80 to 8080

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -i eth1 -j REDIRECT 
--to-port 8080

# redirect localhost port 80 to 8080

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT 
--to-port 8080

why does one want to run cheyenne as user and not root ?

I cheyenne is hacked (or exposes a directory...) hackers own you.

oh ...

The standard is to run a secure(r) webserver as user  nobody

let me know when you finish it :)

A little more work, since root webservers never have to worry about 
read/write permissions but user level runs have to be a little more 
particular in permission settings.  Always a good practice anyway.

I've got this other little project to do.

I will.  I have to prep a doc for my tech support standby.

faxes are coming in and are being sent out to gmail for onward forwarding.

Keep on keeping on.  :)

but I want to do that on the box itself using Cheyenne.

So, I want to ocr the faxes and display the ocr'd text and a link 
to the fax

Nice.

so it can be forwarded onwards correctly

the script rotates the fax in 90 deg increments until it can make 
some sense of the tif file

So, I guess I need a database perhaps ...

or just a .txt file with the same name as the tif

Graham, before you know it you will be King.  King I say.

Lol.

My script already does the ocr, and emails me at gmail... I just 
want to remove the gmail component

I've restrained from gmail so far.  Can't ignore the trends for too 
long though, or I'd still be running DOS and Coherent.  :)

gmail is cheap online archive for all our faxes

2.8Gb gives u quite a few faxes :)

Yeah, I've been hearing that it's taking over.  I almost clicked 
the gmail beta test Icon a while back, but refrained.

Hey, my address is  btiffin from canada.com.  How can you beat that, 
being thee canadian btiffin.  :)  At the time, I actually could have 
been the canadian brian, but that's boring and a little snooty.  
:)

you have a blog ?  Life of Brian ?

I did like that movie...but Holy Grail is the bomb.  :)

I'll have a blog running on peoplecards.ca...and it's blog.r based. 
 I'm just a little confused by 

blog-active: true/false  and the [edit] sequence doesn't seem quite 
right yet. 

This code snippet doesn't seem to redisplay things properly...
	if cgi/save [
		show-blog save-blog cgi/save cgi/date cgi/title cgi/text
	]

is blog-active a test mode thing?

No it determines if you regen the blogs or use post generated  articles. 
 But in the article subdir all the css image names are wrong (relative 
URL hell)...  I'll get there.  A few more reads through the code.

Umm, I think it determines the regen or post article...  :)

brian, you can do like me, and just forward your address to gmail 
:) i did so for the spam filtering. and now i'm starting to appreciate 
the rest of gmail.

except gmail's spam filters are too aggressive

and there doesn't appear to be a way to whitelist senders

the contact list isn't a white list?

anyway... it has worked fine so far... considering most mails come 
from my server so are being relayed a couple of times and don't come 
from the sender host.

it's much better than waiting for thunderbird to filter out 150 spam 
mails a day

(spam being there for 30 days also means that i can easily search 
for false positives if i suspect of any)

no, because I get rebol list mail being sent to spam at times

do you have all ml subscribers in the contact list? ;)

i got one ml message flagged as spam too. 1/1000 false positives 
is not too bad considering it was not trained at all (and i don't 
know if their filter actually tries to adapt to the user).

I've seen similat results with gmail to Gabriele.......The spam filters 
work well for me.
Of the 485 spams (to one address) in the last 30 days:
-- 483 correctly routed to the spam folder
-- 2 incorrectly identifed as real mail
-- 0 real mails identified as spam
