faxcron

FAXCRON(8)						      System Manager's Manual							FAXCRON(8)

NAME

       faxcron - HylaFAX routine maintenance script

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxcron [ -n ] [ -l lastrun ]

DESCRIPTION

       faxcron	is  a  command	script	that  does  routine upkeep tasks in a HylaFAX spooling directory hierarchy.  This script is intended to be
       invoked from cron(8) on behalf of the fax user (often the ``fax'' user is uucp) once a day, with the standard output sent by  mail  to  the
       HylaFAX administrator.  For example, the following crontab might be set up for the fax user:
	 25   23    *	 *    *   sh /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail FaxMaster

       The faxcron script does the following work:

       o  report statistics for facsimile transmitted since the last time faxcron was run.

       o  report statistics for facsimile transmitted in the past week.

       o  report statistics for facsimile received since the last time faxcron was run.

       o  report statistics for facsimile received in the past week.

       o  report any recent calls that failed suspiciously and return the associated trace log;

       o  purge data that is 30 days or older from the remote machine information directory;

       o  delete information that is 30 days or older from session trace log files;

       o  remove files from the tmp directory that are older than 1 day;

       o  remove files in the received facsimile queue that are 7 days or older;

       o  report sites that are currently having jobs rejected; and

       o  force all session log files to be owned by the fax user and kept with protection mode 644.

OPTIONS

       -n	 Forces faxcron to run without updating any files.

       -l lastrun
		 Forces  the  notion  of  the last time that faxcron was run to be lastrun.  The value of lastrun is a date and time string of the
		 form ``MM/DD/YY HH:MM'' (the date(1) format string ``%D %H:%M'').

       -info n	 Set the expiration time for data in the info database to be n days.

       -log n	 Set the expiration time for session log data to be n days.

       -rcv n	 Set the expiration time for files in the received facsimile queue to be n days.

       -tmp n	 Set the expiration time for files in the tmp directory to be n days.

       -mode m	 Set the file protection mode for session logs to m (a command line argument to chmod(1)).

NOTES

       This script requires nawk(1) or gawk(1) and a date (1) program that supports the ``+format'' option.

       If session logs are to be kept private this script must be modified to filter out sensitive information such as calling card numbers.   (It
       should also be run with ``-mode 0600'' so that session log files are not publicly readable.)

FILES

       /var/spool/hylafax		      spooling area
       /var/spool/hylafax/status/lastrun      timestamp of last run
       /usr/sbin/xferfaxstats		      for generating transmit statistics
       /usr/sbin/recvstats		      for generating receive statistics
       /var/spool/hylafax/tmp/faxcronXXXX     temporary file for truncating session logs
       /var/spool/hylafax/tmp/faxlogXXXX      temporary file for logs of failed calls
