In my quest to actually send a fax, I'm now stuck trying to send the
confirm.

First I send the fax:

     -- Executing [send at outbound-fax:2] System("Console/dsp",
"env echo
-e "Channel:DAHDI/g0/12036378447\\nContext:fax-tx\\nExtension:
s\\nPriority: 1\\n"
>/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/call-1254012878.0") in
new stack
     -- Auto fallthrough, channel 'Console/dsp' status is
'UNKNOWN'
  << Hangup on console >>
     -- Attempting call on DAHDI/g0/12036378447 for s at fax-tx:1 (Retry 1)
     -- Requested transfer capability: 0x00 - SPEECH
        > Channel DAHDI/1-1 was answered.
     -- Executing [s at fax-tx:1] SendFAX("DAHDI/1-1",
"/var/spool/asterisk/fax/20090922_1301.tif") in new stack
     -- Channel 'DAHDI/1-1' sending fax
'/var/spool/asterisk/fax/20090922_1301.tif'
     -- Channel 'DAHDI/1-1' fax session '0' started
.........

And that works.

Then I try to send the confirm:

    'h' =>            1. Set(RID=${FAXOPT(remotestationid)})
[pbx_config]
                     2.
Set(DateTime=${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y%m%d)}_${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%H%M)})
[pbx_config]
                     3.
Set(GLOBAL(StatusFile)=/var/spool/asterisk/fax-tx-status-${DateTime})
[pbx_config]
                     4. System(env echo -e "${FAXOPT(pages)} Page Fax
sent to ${EXTEN}. Remote ID: ${RID}" > ${StatusFile}-l1) [pbx_config]
                     5. System(env echo -e "Status: ${FAXOPT(status)}
${FAXOPT(statusstr)}" > ${StatusFile}-l2) [pbx_config]
                     6. System(convert -background white -fill black
-pointsize 18 text:${StatusFile}-l1 text:${StatusFile}-l2 -crop
600x100+1+1  -append ${StatusFile}.tif) [pbx_config]
                     7. Set(GLOBAL(StatusFile)=${StatusFile})
[pbx_config]
                     8.
Set(UniqueFile=/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/call-${UNIQUEID}) [pbx_config]
                     9. System(env echo -e
"Channel:DAHDI/g0/abbbcccdddd\\nContext:fax-confirm-tx\\nExtension:
s\\nPriority: 1\\n" >${UniqueFile}) [pbx_config]

But that fails:

Any help appreciated.
