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.
