NAME
faxconfig - dynamically change HylaFAX configuration parameters
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxconfig [ -q queue-dir ] [ -m modem ] [ parameter value
... ]
DESCRIPTION
faxconfig sends messages to a HylaFAX server process telling it to
install new values for one or more configuration parameters. These new
values are maintained only for as long as that server process executes;
to setup long-lasting configuration parameters the appropriate
configuration file(s) must be edited (see hylafax-config(5)).
faxconfig is especially useful for setting certain configuration
parameters that control the operation of HylaFAX server processes. For
example, by manipulating the ModemPriority parameter of one or more
faxgetty(8) processes it is easy to dynamically reconfigure the order
in which HylaFAX will assign modems to outbound jobs.
If no modem is specified with the -m option, then faxconfig will send
messages to the central scheduler process, faxq(8). If a faxgetty
process is to be contacted, the specified modem must be the last
component of the character special device filename the modem is
attached to.
Consult the hylafax-config(5) for the list of configuration parameters
that can be set with faxconfig.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-m devid Direct messages to the faxgetty process servicing devid
instead of the central scheduler process, faxq. The devid is
an identifier derived from the name of the modem's device
file; for example ttym2 for /dev/ttym2, term_10 for
/dev/term/10.
-q dir Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.
FILES
/var/spool/hylafax default spooling area
/var/spool/hylafax/FIFO fifo for contacting faxq
Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure
and content of the spooling area.
