Operating Systems AIX /var/spool/squeue gets full frequently Post 302411427 by gull04 on Thursday 8th of April 2010 12:47:38 PM

Hi,

You could try and flush the sendmail queue, to do this you could try the command

Code:
sendmail -v -q

You might also want to try restarting the sendmail process.

Also worth checking that the configuration files have not been changed unexpectedly.

Regards

Dave

NAME
faxabort - tell a HylaFAX server to abort a receive SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxabort [ -q dir ] modem DESCRIPTION
faxabort sends a message to a HylaFAX faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to abort any active receive operation. 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''. Note that to abort a send operation the faxrm(1) command must be used. OPTIONS
-q dir Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax. NOTES
On some systems it is not possible to abort a received facsimile because of problems in the operating system; on such systems the message sent by faxabort will be (silently) ignored. 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. SEE ALSO
