FAXCONFIG(8C)FAXCONFIG(8C)NAMEfaxconfig - dynamically change HylaFAX configuration
parameters
SYNOPSIS
/usr/contrib/bin/faxconfig [ -q queue-dir ] [ -m modem ] [
parameter value ... ]
DESCRIPTIONfaxconfig sends messages to a HylaFAX server process
telling it to install new values for one or more configu-
ration parameters. These new values are maintained only
for as long as that server process executes; to setup
long-lasting configuration parameters the appropriate con-
figuration file(s) must be edited (see config(5F)).
faxconfig is especially useful for setting certain config-
uration parameters that control the operation of HylaFAX
server processes. For example, by manipulating the Modem-
Priority parameter of one or more faxgetty(8C) processes
it is easy to dynamically reconfigure the order in which
HylaFAX will assign modems to outbound jobs.
If no modem is specified with the -m option, then faxcon-
fig will send messages to the central scheduler process,
faxq(8C). If a faxgetty process is to be contacted, the
specified modem must be the last component of the charac-
ter special device filename the modem is attached to.
Consult the config(5F) for the list of configuration
parameters that can be set with faxconfig.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-m devid Direct messages to the faxgetty process servic-
ing devid instead of the central scheduler pro-
cess, faxq. The devid is an identifier derived
from the name of the modem's device file; for
example ttym2 for /dev/ttym2, term_10 for
/dev/term/10.
-q dir Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/fax.
FILES
/var/spool/fax default spooling area
/var/spool/fax/FIFO fifo for contacting faxq
Consult hylafax-server(5F) for a complete discussion of
the structure and content of the spooling area.
