NAME

6       faxquit - tell a HylaFAX server to terminate
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/sbin/faxquit [ -q queue-dir ] [ modem ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       faxquit  sends a message to a HylaFAX server process telling it to quit
13       operation.
14
15       If modem is specified, the faxgetty(8C) process servicing the specified
16       modem  is  notified.   modem can either be the name (typically the last
17       component of the terminal port the modem is attached to), or  the  full
18       name of the associated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.
19
20       If no modem is specified, faxquit will send the request to the ``FIFO''
21       named pipe file causing the HylaFAX queue manager process to terminate.
22
23       Note that server processes may not terminate immediately.  In  particu‐
24       lar the faxq process will not exit until any active jobs are completed;
25       this is necessary for proper operation (faxq must wait for  child  pro‐
26       cesses to terminate so that it can collect their exit status and update
27       the state of the jobs being operated on).
