NAME

       status - server status database

DESCRIPTION

       Files in the status directory in the HylaFAX spooling area contain status information about each running server.  Files are named according
       to the modem being serviced.  Files without a suffix contain a single line of ASCII text that indicates what the server is currently doing:
       ``Running  and  idle'',	``Sending to ...'', ``Answering the phone'', etc.  The contents of the file any.info is returned by the faxstat(1)
       program when given the -i option; it should contain information about the server system including an administrative contact, its  location,
       usage conventions, etc.

NAME

       faxanswer - tell a HylaFAX server to answer the telephone

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxanswer [ -q queue-dir ] [ -h how ] modem

DESCRIPTION

       faxanswer sends a message to the HylaFAX faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to answer the telephone.  This is useful, for exam-
       ple, when a modem is used on a shared phone line and the server is configured to not normally answer the phone.

       The specified modem can either be the name (typically the last component of the terminal port the modem is attached to), or the	full  name
       of the associated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.

OPTIONS

       -q dir	 Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.

       -h	 Specify  exactly  how	the phone should be answered.  By default, the server process is instructed to answer the phone and accept
		 any kind of call (voice, data, fax).  Discrimination of the type of call is dependent on a modem's adaptive-answer support.   The
		 -h  option  can be used to force the server to answer the phone for particular type of call: one of fax, data, voice, any, extern
		 (to force faxgetty to invoke an external application to to handle the call), or dialX (where X is a  dialstring  to  dial  before
		 initiating a fax reception).  If using dialX, the specified dialstring will likely need to end with a semicolon (``;'').

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.
