While investigating Bug 2814 I found it very difficult to script fax2tiff since it exits with code 0 and produces a partial TIFF file on failures in the copyFaxFile function. It would be nice if fax2tiff could exit with a a non-zero code to make failure easier to detect by calling programs. I'd also suggest removing the partial output file, but I'm not sure if it might have use in some error conditions. Take that for what it's worth. Thanks for considering, Kevin
there could be a special error code for partial failures
