That's it.

I'll try that newer code. I'm sure it'll work great. Thanks again.

I find it funny that I know so little about simple coding like this and a lot of people think I'm some sort of genius. If only I had the knowledge you guys have - I could be even more frustrated! Knowing what can be done and then having to fight with people and their status quo is a mental battle for me. Do I try to convince them or do I leave them alone? I usually do things my way, keep it to myself, and after a while they hear about it and want to see what I've written and how it works, but almost no one is willingly open at first.

Oddly, what you're talking about with automation I agree with somewhat. The self driving cars will need someone to program them, someone to build them, someone to get them when they breakdown ... I've noticed that here in America everyone wants a fantastic job and that's who they are. In other countries people have a job and no matter what it is it's a job and they're proud to have A job at all. Most Americans, it seems, would rather accept free money from the government than work a job they don't think is worthy of their efforts.

I recently watched an episode of Anthony Bordain's Parts Unknown where there were dozens of people who's job it was to slowly turn a spit while a pig cooked. No automation. These people crouched down and slowly turned that handle, hour after hour. They had jobs!

We need to change our culture from, "free money is better than working", to "If you didn't work for your money you're the scum of the earth." Instead of people being embarrassed about a shitty job they should be embarrassed they don't have a job at all.

faxrm

faxrm(1)                                                       mgetty+sendfax manual                                                      faxrm(1)

NAME

       faxrm - remove fax jobs queued by faxspool(1)

SYNOPSIS

       faxrm [-i] [job-ids...]

DESCRIPTION

       Remove job(s) from the fax queue set up by faxspool(1).

       faxrm  removes queued fax jobs.  Call with a list of job-IDs to remove specific jobs.  Call with no job IDs to be asked interactively about
       all jobs you own (if run by root, all jobs).  For job-id, use the strings returned by faxq(1) (e.g. F000015), without the  ``/JOB''  exten-
       tion.

       If  you  are not the owner of the fax job (as per the 'user xyz' statement inside the JOB file), you are not allowed to remove the fax job.
       Only root is permitted to remove another user's faxes.

       If the job is locked (most likely because sendfax(8) is active sending it), faxrm doesn't attempt to remove it.  Instead, it prints a warn-
       ing message on stderr and goes on to the next job.

EXAMPLES

       faxrm F000005 F000033

OPTIONS

       -i     (interactive mode) Tells faxrm to ask for confirmation before removing the job (UNIMPLEMENTED).

BUGS

       faxrm doesn't return diagnostic exit codes yet.
