NAME
faxcron - HylaFAX routine maintenance script
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxcron
[
-n
] [
-l
lastrun
]
DESCRIPTION
faxcron
is a command script that does routine upkeep tasks in a HylaFAX
spooling directory hierarchy.
This script is intended to be invoked from
cron(8C)
on behalf of the fax user once a day,
with the standard output sent by mail to the HylaFAX administrator.
For example, the following crontab might be setup for the fax user:
25 23 * * * sh /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail FaxMaster
The
faxcron
script does the following work:
- *
-
report statistics for facsimile transmitted since the last time
faxcron
was run.
- *
-
report statistics for facsimile transmitted in the past week.
- *
-
report statistics for facsimile received since the last time
faxcron
was run.
- *
-
report statistics for facsimile received in the past week.
- *
-
report any recent calls that failed suspiciously and return the associated trace log;
- *
-
purge data that is 30 days or older from the remote machine information directory;
- *
-
delete information that is 30 days or older from session trace log files;
- *
-
remove files from the tmp directory that are older than 1 day;
- *
-
remove received facsimile that are 7 days or older;
- *
-
report sites that are currently having jobs rejected; and
- *
-
force all session log files to be owned by the fax user
and kept with protection mode 644.
OPTIONS
- -n
-
Forces
faxcron
to run without updating any files.
- -l lastrun
-
Forces the notion of the last time that
faxcron
was run to be
lastrun.
The value of
lastrun
is a date and time string of the form ``MM/DD/YY HH:MM'' (the
date(1)
format string ``%D %H:%M'').
- -info n
-
Set the expiration time for data in the info database to be
n
days.
- -log n
-
Set the expiration time for session log data to be
n
days.
- -rcv n
-
Set the expiration time for files in the received facsimile queue to be
n
days.
- -tmp n
-
Set the expiration time for files in the tmp directory to be
n
days.
- -mode m
-
Set the file protection mode for session logs to
m
(a command line argument to
chmod(1)).
NOTES
This script requires
nawk(1)
or
gawk(1)
and a
date (1)
program that supports the ``+format'' option.
If session logs are to be kept private this script must be modified
to filter out sensitive information such as calling card numbers.
(It should also be run with ``-mode 0600'' so that
session log files are not publicly readable.)
