[hylafax-users] magic incantation for faxalter to requeue faxes that have been stopped due to killtime exceeded

["Harondel J. Sibble" <help@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am running hylafax 4.4.4 on CentOS 5.2 with Avantfax 3.1.3.

Okay after reading the man page (faxalter), googling and checking past 
hylafax list postings, I am somewhat at a loss on how to requeue some faxes 
that were created and send via avantfax and have reached their kill time.

I've got 800 faxes sitting in the avantfax outbox and can click on the modify 
job link for each fax and then click ok and then they go out fine, googling 
so far hasn't found me a way to just requeue the whole lot in one fell swoop.

Speaking with the avantfax folks on irc, they pointed me to faxalter, after 
sorting out issues with the admin password, reading lots of mailling list 
past postings, I'm stuck, here's the command line I came up with and the 
results when I try to requeue a specific job id in the avantfax outbox

    [root@faxserver etc]# faxalter -a now -p -A  -t 10 -r -v 1974
    Trying localhost (127.0.0.1) at port 4559...
    Connected to localhost.localdomain.
    220 faxserver.bwss.org server (HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.4.4) ready.

    213-PDF docq/doc290.pdf.1110.1974
    213 End of documents.
    -> JNEW

    200 Added document docq/doc290.pdf.1110.1974 as

    Job 1974: duplicated as job 2115.
    -> JPARM SENDTIME NOW
    213 SENDTIME set to NOW.
    -> JPARM SENDTIME NOW
    213 SENDTIME set to NOW.
    -> JPARM MAXDIALS 10
    213 MAXDIALS set to 10.
    -> JSUBM
    460 Failed to submit job 2115: Unspecified reason (scheduler NAK'd request).
    460 Failed to submit job 2115: Unspecified reason (scheduler NAK'd request).


Most of what I see on the mailing list with the error above points out issues 
with windows clients like whfc and such.

Also how does one requeue a whole bunch of job id's, listing each one like 
below, won't work in this case as there are 800 faxes to be requeued.
