NAME

6       faxconfig - dynamically change HylaFAX configuration parameters
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/sbin/faxconfig  [  -q  queue-dir  ] [ -m modem ] [ parameter value
10        ... ]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       faxconfig sends messages to a HylaFAX  server  process  telling  it  to
14       install new values for one or more configuration parameters.  These new
15       values are maintained only for as long as that server process executes;
16       to setup long-lasting configuration parameters the appropriate configu‐
17       ration file(s) must be edited (see hylafax-config(5F)).
18
19       faxconfig is especially useful for setting certain configuration param‐
20       eters  that  control  the  operation  of HylaFAX server processes.  For
21       example, by manipulating the ModemPriority parameter  of  one  or  more
22       faxgetty(8C)  processes it is easy to dynamically reconfigure the order
23       in which HylaFAX will assign modems to outbound jobs.
24
25       If no modem is specified with the -m option, then faxconfig  will  send
26       messages  to  the  central  scheduler process, faxq(8C).  If a faxgetty
27       process is to be contacted, the specified modem must be the last compo‐
28       nent of the character special device filename the modem is attached to.

30       Consult the hylafax-config(5F) for the list of configuration parameters
31       that can be set with faxconfig.

OPTIONS

34       The following options are available:
35
36       -m devid  Direct messages  to  the  faxgetty  process  servicing  devid
37                 instead of the central scheduler process, faxq.  The devid is
38                 an identifier derived from the name  of  the  modem's  device
39                 file;   for   example   ttym2  for  /dev/ttym2,  term_10  for
40                 /dev/term/10.
41
42       -q dir    Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.
43

FILES

45       /var/spool/hylafax                 default spooling area
46       /var/spool/hylafax/FIFO            fifo for contacting faxq
47
48       Consult hylafax-server(5F) for a complete discussion of  the  structure
49       and content of the spooling area.
