NAME
faxstate - control ``modem state'' of a device used by HylaFAX
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxstate
[
-q
queue-dir
] [
-s
state
] [
-n
]
modem
DESCRIPTION
faxstate
sends a message to the HylaFAX
faxgetty(8C)
process servicing
modem
telling it to use the specified state when notifying the
HylaFAX scheduler that a modem is ready and available for use.
This is useful for controlling outbound use of a modem; by
marking a modem's state as
busy
or
down
the HylaFAX scheduler will not assign any outbound jobs to the modem.
The specified
modem
can either be the name (typically the
last component of the terminal port the
modem is attached to), or the full name
of the associated
FIFO
named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.
If the
-n
option,
faxstate
emulates what
faxgetty
would do; sending a message directly to the
faxq
process marking the specified modem down, busy, or ready.
This interface is useful for send-only environments in which
faxgetty
processes are not used.
Note that modems manipulated in this way must previously have
been configured with the
faxmodem(8C)
program.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
- -n
-
Contact
faxq
directly instead of
faxgetty.
- -q dir
-
Use a spooling area other than
/var/spool/hylafax.
- -s
-
Specify the state to send the
faxq
process each time the modem becomes ready for use; one of ``busy'',
``down'',
and ``ready''.
The default state to use is
ready.
FILES
Consult
hylafax-server(5F)

content of the spooling area.
