12 faxqclean is a program that processes completed HylaFAX jobs and
13 expunges unreferenced document files. This program is intended to be
14 invoked by cron(8C) on behalf of the super user (i.e. root) one or more
15 times a day. For example, the following crontab entry might be setup
16 for root to run faxqclean each hour.
17 0 * * * * /usr/sbin/faxqclean
18 When faxqclean is run it scans the doneq subdirectory in the HylaFAX
20 spooling area and process each job according to the doneop field speci‐
21 fied in the job description file; c.f. sendq(5F). Jobs that are
22 marked for removal are purged and references to documents are removed.
23 Jobs that are marked for archival may be archived depending on the
24 options supplied on the command line.
25 After scanning for completed jobs faxqclean scans the docq subdirectory
27 and builds up a table of document files. Files that are not referenced
28 by any job and that are older than a specified threshold are removed.
29
31 -a Enable job archiving support.
32 -A This option forces archiving even if 'doneop' in the queue
34 file is not 'archive', i.e. even if the user submitted the
35 job without specifying the -A flag to sendfax
36 -j secs Set the job age threshold (in seconds) that controls how long
38 jobs may reside in the doneq directory before being pro‐
39 cessed. By default this value is 15 minutes (15*60 = 900
40 seconds).
41 -d secs Set the document age threshold (in seconds) that controls how
43 long unreferenced files may reside in the docq directory
44 before being removed. By default this value is 1 hour (60*60
45 = 3600 seconds).
46 -n Do not carry out any work; just show what would be done.
48 This option is useful together with the -t option for debug‐
49 ging.
50 -q dir The specified directory is treated as the spooling area. The
52 default spooling area, /var/spool/hylafax, is defined at the
53 time the software is built.
54 -s script Specifies a custom script to be used for archiving. This is
56 given relative to the spooling area, /var/spool/hylafax. The
57 default script is bin/archive found in the spooling area.
58 -t Trace in great detail exactly what faxqclean is doing. Mes‐
60 sages are sent to the standard output.
61 -v Print messages on the standard output about jobs removed or
63 archived and about document files removed.

66 /var/spool/hylafax/doneq directory to scan for completed jobs
67 /var/spool/hylafax/docq directory to scan for unreferenced documents
68 /var/spool/hylafax/archive directory where archived jobs are placed
