NAME

       wedged - HylaFAX modem wedged script

SYNOPSIS

       /var/spool/hylafax/bin/wedged devid device

DESCRIPTION

       bin/wedged is the command script invoked by the facsimile server when a modem is deemed to be in an irreparable state and requires operator
       intervention.  This decision is based on the setting of the MaxSetupAttempts configuration parameter described in  hylafax-config(5).   The
       default  wedged  script  sends  electronic  mail  to  the  FaxMaster  alias. The interval at which emails are sent can be configured in the
       etc/FaxDispatch file by setting the WEDGED_EMAIL_INTERVAL variable to the desired number of minutes (emails will be sent no more than every
       WEDGED_EMAIL_INTERVAL  minutes,  until  the  wedged condition persists).  If the variable WEDGED_DISABLE_FAXGETTY is set in etc/FaxDispatch
       then the script will attempt to disable any faxgetty processes spawned by the init(8) process for the problematic modem.  In  addition  the
       faxq(8) process automatically disables use of the modem for servicing outbound jobs.

       The  devid  argument  is the identifier derived from the name of the modem's device file by substituting ``_'' characters for ``/'' charac-
       ters; e.g.  term_10 for /dev/term/10.  The device argument is the name of the character special device associated with the modem.

       If there exists an executable file /var/spool/hylafax/etc/resetmodem then that file will be executed upon execution of the wedged script in
       an effort to recover the modem.
