Re: [hylafax-users] restart hylafax problem

["Michael Stowe" <mstowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I cannot honestly say I'd bother with the service command on Redhat.  If I
were to venture a guess I'd say the service shut down but didn't start,
but I really don't see the point in guessing.

See what daemons are running with

ps ax | grep fax

If you need to restart the server, consider using

hylafax restart

And for heaven's sake, consider looking in the logs to see what's going on.
