RE: More on hylafax
Still can't get HylaFAX to work on Red Hat 6.1!!!! I have tried Hylafax 4.0
for Red Hat 5 and the 4.1 HylaFAX for Red Hat 6.1. I removed all the fax
files/directories between installs. Same problem know matter how I install
the software.
If anyone can see what's happening and knows of some trick to try, please
let me know.
Thanks!
JH
Here is some info on the setup:
With faxgetty another faxq gets spawned when a job is submitted that uses
99% of the cpu. The fax still will not get sent.
uucp 525 1 0 06:17 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/faxq
uucp 527 1 0 06:17 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/hfaxd -i hylafax
uucp 567 1 0 06:17 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1
uucp 632 525 99 06:25 ? 00:28:51 /usr/sbin/faxq
This is the inittab entry I used to spawn faxgetty:
s1:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1
With or without faxgetty the job goes into the docq. But an attempt to
actually dial and send the fax never happens.
This is what faxstat -s says:
HylaFAX scheduler on faxserv.dac: Running
Modem ttyS1 (+1.480.902.2101): Running and idle
JID Pri S Owner Number Pages Dials TTS Status
7 127 W root 5918 0:0 0:12
When the job times out, or if I wait like 30-60 minutes and faxrm the job, I
get an email with the following information (using faxgetty/faxmodem). With
faxgetty running faxrm will hang unless the additional faxq that was spawned
is killed.

The modem is a USR 56k FAX and works fine using cu or minicom.

I don't use faxmodem. I put the following on my /etc/inittab file. When
you modify that file, be sure to use 'telinit q' imediately after so that
the system will re-read the file to respawn the faxgetty server for you...
# Onboard serials...
s0:2345:off:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0 # USR 56k
This runs the faxgetty server program that does the actual talking to the
modem. w/o this, your faxes just hang out in the queue...
By the way, 'faxstat -s' shows what's in the queue...
