[hylafax-users] Hylafax stops responding every 3 to 4 days

["Kulraj Gurm" <kulraj@microbiz.net>]

We have a hylafax server (on FreeBSD 4.3) used primarily for receiving
faxes, very low volume - at most 20 per day. However every third or fourth
day faxes are no longer received, until I restart the the hylafax server!

ps -ax - on fresh reboot includes :

  278  ??  Is     0:00.03 /usr/local/sbin/faxq
  280  ??  Is     0:00.02 /usr/local/sbin/hfaxd -i 4559 -o 4557 -s 444
  300  ??  I      0:03.37 /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty /dev/ttyd1 tt

However, ps -ax when hylafax stops responding includes one other pertinent
line :

 5353  d1  Is+    0:00.00 getty -h ttyd1 dx_38400

This is always the case - I am therefore assuming that a process has hung
somewhere, but how do I resolve this so it doesn't continually recur? And
killing this pid is not adequate to get things going again. However, if
after killing the getty pid, I kill faxq & hfaxd and then relaunch these -
things return to normal.

I am loading hylafax from rc.local using the following parameters :

#Hylafax
/usr/local/sbin/faxq
/usr/local/sbin/hfaxd -i 4559 -o 4557 -s 444

TIA, Regards,

Kulraj Gurm
