Hi all. Thanks to all those who answered my bash scripting question. I'm running into more problems, so maybe I'm better off describing what it is I'm trying to do. Basically, I want to have a script that will accept a phone number, and the name of a text file on the command line. It would then use ghost script to turn the txt file into a g3 file, and envoke sendfax to send a fax. When I want to convert a text file to a g3 file with gs, I am doing: gs -sDEVICE=faxg3 -sOutputFile=/tmp/fax.g3.%d file.txt but, I get a whole bunch of error messages from gs: GNU Ghostscript 5.50 (2000-2-13) Copyright (C) 1998 Aladdin Enterprises, Menlo Park, CA.

If anybody could please tell me how to do what I'm trying to do correctly, or better yet, if somebody already has a script that does this, I would very much welcome the help/script. Thanks.
