JobControl is simply "program" that is run.  faxq read's the output of
the program, in  a "param: value" format, and acts on them.

The params are described in the jobcontrol manpage.  As mentioned in the
man page, any option not listed there is passed directly to the faxsend
program with the -c "param:value", allowing you to driectly control
faxsend options (like localidentifier, etc) with jobcontl.

I've put a few simple examples up:
	http://people.ifax.com/~aidan/hylafax/jobcontrol/

These samples show how to "get" information about a job from the qfile,
and how to set "params" that you can control..  These are all basic
shell scripts, but there is nothing that makes jobcontrol have to be a
shell script.  You could use perl, python, php, C/C++, asm, java, etc.

What specifically are you looking for?
