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

34 The following options are available:
35 -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 -q dir Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.
43
45 /var/spool/hylafax default spooling area
46 /var/spool/hylafax/FIFO fifo for contacting faxq
47 Consult hylafax-server(5F) for a complete discussion of the structure
49 and content of the spooling area.
