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

NAME
       faxabort - tell a HylaFAX server to abort a receive

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/faxabort [ -q dir ] modem

DESCRIPTION
       faxabort sends a message to a HylaFAX faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to abort any active receive operation.

       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''.

       Note that to abort a send operation the faxrm(1) command must be used.

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

NOTES
       On some systems it is not possible to abort a received facsimile because of problems in the operating system; on such systems  the  message
       sent by faxabort will be (silently) ignored.

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.
