Re: [hylafax-users] Missing old faxes

[Paul Smith <paul@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for catching that!  I now have the following:

faxcron -info 3650 -log 3650 -rcv 3650 -tmp 15 -mode 664 >> /var/log/hylafax/faxcron.log 2>&1
faxqclean -A -t -j 3024000 -a >> /var/log/hylafax/faxqclean.log 2>&1

Not sure if I need -a given I've got -A but still, hopefully all incoming faxes will just sit there in "/var/spool/hylafax/recvq" and all outgoing faxes will be archived off after a month or so into their own directory in "/var/spool/hylafax/archive".

Thanks again,
Paul

For what I have understand if you don't specify -rcv value , faxcron will
delete faxes older than 1 week.
I have the same problem , now I have put the following command in
cron.weekly, it seems to work but I'm not sure. 3650 days = 10 years

"faxcron -info 3650 -log 3650 -rcv 3650 -tmp 15 -mode 664 >>
/var/log/hylafax/faxcron.log 2>&1"

It was running in cron.weekly - I overlooked it during the install.  I don't
want the old sent faxes to be deleted, so I've changed it to the following..

"faxcron -info 35 -tmp 15 -mode 664 >> /var/log/hylafax/faxcron.log 2>&1"

..and also commented out the "faxqclean" line.

Will that leave all the sent faxes in "/var/spool/hylafax/docq" and all
received faxes in "/var/spool/hylafax/recvq"?  If so, is there any issue
with doing so?

Thanks,
Paul Smith

You need to run 'faxcron'. Look in your cronttabs or in /etc/cron.daily, 
etc.

Thanks,
