FAXQUIT(8C)															       FAXQUIT(8C)

NAME

       faxquit - tell a HylaFAX server to terminate

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxquit [ -q queue-dir ] [ modem ]

DESCRIPTION

       faxquit sends a message to a HylaFAX server process telling it to quit operation.

       If  modem  is  specified,  the faxgetty(8C) process servicing the specified modem is notified.  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''.

       If no modem is specified, faxquit will send the request to the ``FIFO'' named pipe file causing the HylaFAX queue manager process to termi-
       nate.

       Note that server processes may not terminate immediately.  In particular the faxq process will not exit until  any  active  jobs  are  com-
       pleted;	this  is  necessary for proper operation (faxq must wait for child processes to terminate so that it can collect their exit status
       and update the state of the jobs being operated on).

OPTIONS

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

FILES

       /var/spool/fax		      default spooling area
       /var/spool/fax/FIFO	      fifo for contacting faxq

       Consult hylafax-server(5F) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area.
