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

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.

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

NAME

       faxstate - control ``modem state'' of a device used by HylaFAX

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxstate [ -q queue-dir ] [ -s state ] [ -n ] modem

DESCRIPTION

       faxstate  sends  a  message  to  the  HylaFAX  faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to use the specified state when notifying the
       HylaFAX scheduler that a modem is ready and available for use.  This is useful for controlling outbound  use  of  a  modem;  by  marking  a
       modem's state as busy or down the HylaFAX scheduler will not assign any outbound jobs to the modem.

       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''.

       If the -n option, faxstate emulates what faxgetty would do; sending a message directly to the faxq  process  marking  the  specified  modem
       down,  busy,  or  ready.   This  interface is useful for send-only environments in which faxgetty processes are not used.  Note that modems
       manipulated in this way must previously have been configured with the faxmodem(8) program.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -n        Contact faxq directly instead of faxgetty.

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

       -s        Specify the state to send the faxq process each time the modem becomes ready for use; one of ``busy'', ``down'',  and  ``ready''.
                 The default state to use is ready.

FILES

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