NAME
faxconfig - dynamically change HylaFAX configuration parameters
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxconfig
[
-q
queue-dir
] [
-m
modem
] [
parameter
value
... ]
DESCRIPTION
faxconfig
sends messages to a HylaFAX server process
telling it to install new values for one or more
configuration parameters.
These new values are maintained only for as long as that
server process executes; to setup long-lasting configuration
parameters the appropriate configuration file(s) must be
edited (see
hylafax-config(5F)).
faxconfig
is especially useful for setting certain configuration parameters
that control the operation of HylaFAX server processes.
For example, by manipulating the
ModemPriority
parameter of one or more
faxgetty(8C)
processes it is easy to dynamically reconfigure the order in which
HylaFAX will assign modems to outbound jobs.
If no
modem
is specified with the
-m
option, then
faxconfig
will send messages to the central scheduler process,
faxq(8C).
If a
faxgetty
process is to be contacted, the specified
modem
must be the last component of the character special device
filename the modem is attached to.
Consult the
hylafax-config(5F)
for the list of configuration parameters that can be set with
faxconfig.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
- -m devid
-
Direct messages to the
faxgetty
process servicing
devid
instead of the central scheduler process,
faxq.
The
devid
is an identifier derived from the name of
the modem's device file; for example
ttym2
for
/dev/ttym2,
term_10
for
/dev/term/10.
- -q dir
-
Use a spooling area other than
/var/spool/hylafax.
FILES
/var/spool/hylafax default spooling area
/var/spool/hylafax/FIFO fifo for contacting faxq
Consult
hylafax-server(5F)
for a complete discussion of the structure and
content of the spooling area.
