Re: [hylafax-users] What command can I use to display runningservice.

["Dennis M. Linton" <dennis@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Ramone;

	ps -A and ps -a are different (former is more comprehensive).  No sign 
of faxgetty or ttyS0 anywhere although getty running on tty1 to 6.

	faxstat -a gives:
	...
	HylaFAX scheduler on server1.dmlinton.net: Running
	Modem ttyS0 (+1.613.473.4299): Running and idle
	...

	The ... means more because I have verbose reporting turned on but the 
rest of the report is long and irrelevant.

	Your "Waiting for modem to come ready" means that either Hylafax server 
cannot see your modem or, more likely, your modem is not ready.  I could 
get such a report if, for example, I powered the modem off and then back 
on.  I would have have to do /etc/init.d/hylafax restart to get the 
modem and server talking again.  I could also get the waiting for modem 
message when I had minicom running as it would be monopolozing the modem.

	If you can, try powering everything (modem and computer) down then 
power up your modem on and boot your computer.  As soon as you can get 
to a terminal, run faxstat to see whether you get "Running and idle" or 
"Waiting for modem...".  It should definitely be the former although I 
have to say I am only familiar with Ubuntu Debian.  Fedora could be 
slightly different.

	If you really need to see whether faxgetty will run, execute:

	# whereis faxgetty

	you will receive something like /usr/sbin/faxgetty - whatever it is 
(translate as necessary), execute something like:

	# /usr/sbin/faxgetty

	You should then see faxgetty listed after executing ps -A.  I guess 
this would prove, for whatever it might be worth, that your faxgetty 
will run.  As I have noted before though, I really don't think it is 
necessary to start faxgetty individually - I don't on my system anyhow.

Best regards,
	Dennis
