[hylafax-users] fax completely stuck

[Christian Schnobrich <schnobs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

from time to time, my faxmodem will get utterly stuck on an outbound
fax; faxstat will report "sending job xyz"for hours, and I have to log
into the hylafax server and issue a sigkill.


> zwerg:/home/schnobs# ps -Af |grep uucp
> uucp       292     1  0  2004 ?        00:00:06 /usr/sbin/faxq
> uucp       294     1  0  2004 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/hfaxd -i 4559 -o 4557 -s 444
> uucp       376     1  0  2004 ?        00:00:02 /usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1
> uucp     18693   292  0 Feb02 ?        00:00:00 faxsend -m ttyS1 sendq/q5503
> root     21168 21166  0 12:50 ttyp1    00:00:00 grep uucp

here's the last few lines of the logfile:
> 
> Feb 02 19:09:54.15: [18693]: <-- data [1026]
> Feb 02 19:09:54.15: [18693]: <-- data [1029]
> Feb 02 19:11:14.15: [18693]: MODEM TIMEOUT: writing to modem
> Feb 02 19:11:14.15: [18693]: MODEM WRITE SHORT: sent 1029, wrote 22
> Feb 02 19:11:14.15: [18693]: SENT 22379 bytes of data
> Feb 02 19:11:14.15: [18693]: SEND end page
> Feb 02 19:11:14.15: [18693]: MODEM set XON/XOFF/DRAIN: input ignored, output disabled

Somehow, I don't think that's very informative. Any suggestions on what
logging I should turn on o have something meaningful next time?

Oh, and... I'm using one of the dreaded USR Couriers. I'm aware that the
most common suggestion is to get a better modem -- but I'd like to at
least try before I rip it out.

MfG,
Schnobs
