Need Help Writing Script To Email When Fax Queue Goes Down

I need a script that would email me when the fax queue goes down. How would I go about doing this? Our fax queue drops a few times a week and if I don't catch it fairly quickly it gets backed up really fast which makes the users a little unhappy...

I am new to Unix-AIX.

We are running Unix-AIX 6 running Activant Eclipse ERP
We also have an Exchange Email Server which is used to email orders from the Eclipse System on UNIX.

I would appreciate any help on this!!

faxq(1) 						       mgetty+sendfax manual							   faxq(1)

NAME
faxq - display fax jobs queued by faxspool(1) SYNOPSIS
faxq [<command>] [-osa] [-v] [-r] [-P<job><prio>] DESCRIPTION
Display the fax queue set up by faxspool(1). faxq looks for all the jobs queued by faxspool(1) to /var/spool/fax/outgoing/*. For each job in the queue, faxq displays some status infor- mations about it. If no options are specified, one line per queued fax job is printed, displaying the job number, sender, number of pages and target fax number. COMMANDS
faxq stop stops the fax queue processing by creating the file /var/spool/fax/outgoing/stop. This command works only if you have write access to the spool directory. Depending on local setup, this means ``root only'' or ``fax administrator group''. If you don't have write access, an error message is printed. faxq start re-starts a previously stopped fax queue, by removing the ``stop'' file. As for faxq stop this only works if you have write access. OPTIONS
-v Tells faxq to print a more verbose report for each job (multiple lines). -o Show old jobs, already sent but still in the queue directory, too. -s Show suspended jobs (stopped because of too many fatal errors during sending). You can restart those jobs with faxq -r -a Show all jobs (active, old, suspended). -r Restart suspended jobs. Every suspended job in the queue (that you have write permissions for) will be requeued. Use faxrm to delete jobs that you do not want to be sent! -P <job> <prio> Change the priority of fax job <job> to <prio>. Example: "faxq -P F000247 3". BUGS
faxq doesn't handle time scheduling yet. faxq -P is currently broken (needs re-implementing with faxq-helper). SEE ALSO
