[hylafax-users] Log on Timeout / Feature Request?

Hylafax dev. team et al,
	I am new to the mailing-list. Hylafax is awesome and it's documentation
is great. I have been using it for some time, but recently an odd
problem cropped up...

I am running:

HylaFAX version 4.1.3 built Wed Sep 25 07:35:43 PDT 2002 for
i686-pc-linux-gnu

<snip config>
LogFacility:            daemon
CountryCode:            1
AreaCode:               503
LongDistancePrefix:     1
InternationalPrefix:    011
DialStringRules:        etc/dialrules
ServerTracing:          1
</snip>

	After some investigation (and alot of searching mailing-list archives
and documentation), it seems that this is what happens (it is not
necessarily repeatable):

1. Something goes awry - I think one of the daemons dies
2. Faxes are enqueued but never sent - the status sits at Running 	and
Idle
3. After some arbitrary period of time, the faxes 'expire' and are
	removed from the queue, unsent

	When this happens, no log of the job is kept in either ./logs or
./etc/xferfaxlog (or the syslog); in retrospect, that job # appears to
be skipped in xferfaxlog. It seems to me, that when a fax is dequeued
due to a time-out, a record should be kept in at least one, or even
better, all three of these locations.

	If I restart hylafax the problem goes away, and the enqueued faxes
send.

	Why the daemon is dying (if that is what happened) is another question
all-together, since it has only happened once, I am not too concerned.
If it starts happening frequently, I will just put it under svc.

	Any ideas?

	Thank you for your time,
