FAXQCLEAN(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      FAXQCLEAN(8)

NAME

       faxqclean - HylaFAX queue cleaner process

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxqclean [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       faxqclean  is  a  program  that	processes completed HylaFAX jobs and expunges unreferenced document files.  This program is intended to be
       invoked by cron(8) on behalf of the super user (i.e. root) one or more times a day.  For example, the following crontab entry might be set-
       up for root to run faxqclean each hour.
	 0   *	  *    *    *	/usr/sbin/faxqclean

       When faxqclean is run it scans the doneq subdirectory in the HylaFAX spooling area and process each job according to the doneop field spec-
       ified in the job description file; c.f.	sendq(5).  Jobs that are marked for removal are purged and references to  documents  are  removed.
       Jobs that are marked for archival may be archived depending on the options supplied on the command line.

       After scanning for completed jobs faxqclean scans the docq subdirectory and builds up a table of document files.  Files that are not refer-
       enced by any job and that are older than a specified threshold are removed.

OPTIONS

       -a	 Enable job archiving support.

       -A	 This option forces archiving even if 'doneop' in the queue file is not 'archive', i.e. even if the user submitted the job without
		 specifying the -A flag to sendfax

       -j secs	 Set  the job age threshold (in seconds) that controls how long jobs may reside in the doneq directory before being processed.	By
		 default this value is 15 minutes (15*60 = 900 seconds).

       -d secs	 Set the document age threshold (in seconds) that controls how long unreferenced files may reside in  the  docq  directory  before
		 being removed.  By default this value is 1 hour (60*60 = 3600 seconds).

       -n	 Do not carry out any work; just show what would be done.  This option is useful together with the -t option for debugging.

       -q dir	 The  specified  directory is treated as the spooling area.  The default spooling area, /var/spool/hylafax, is defined at the time
		 the software is built.

       -t	 Trace in great detail exactly what faxqclean is doing.  Messages are sent to the standard output.

       -v	 Print messages on the standard output about jobs removed or archived and about document files removed.

FILES

       /var/spool/hylafax/doneq      directory to scan for completed jobs
       /var/spool/hylafax/docq	     directory to scan for unreferenced documents
       /var/spool/hylafax/archive    directory where archived jobs are placed

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

NAME

       faxconfig - dynamically change HylaFAX configuration parameters

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxconfig [ -q queue-dir ] [ -m modem ] [ parameter value  ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       faxconfig  sends messages to a HylaFAX server process telling it to install new values for one or more configuration parameters.  These new
       values are maintained only for as long as that server process executes; to setup long-lasting configuration parameters the appropriate con-
       figuration file(s) must be edited (see hylafax-config(5)).

       faxconfig  is  especially  useful for setting certain configuration parameters that control the operation of HylaFAX server processes.  For
       example, by manipulating the ModemPriority parameter of one or more faxgetty(8) processes it is easy to dynamically reconfigure	the  order
       in which HylaFAX will assign modems to outbound jobs.

       If  no  modem  is specified with the -m option, then faxconfig will send messages to the central scheduler process, faxq(8).  If a faxgetty
       process is to be contacted, the specified modem must be the last component of the character special device filename the modem  is  attached
       to.

       Consult the hylafax-config(5) for the list of configuration parameters that can be set with faxconfig.

OPTIONS

       The following options are available:

       -m devid  Direct  messages to the faxgetty process servicing devid instead of the central scheduler process, faxq.  The devid is an identi-
		 fier derived from the name of the modem's device file; for example ttym2 for /dev/ttym2, term_10 for /dev/term/10.

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

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.
