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).
