NAME¶
faxquit - tell a
HylaFAX server to terminate
SYNOPSIS¶
/usr/sbin/faxquit [
-q queue-dir ] [
modem ]
DESCRIPTION¶
faxquit sends a message to a
HylaFAX server process telling it to
quit operation.
If
modem is specified, the
faxgetty(8) process servicing the
specified modem is notified.
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 no modem is specified,
faxquit will send the request to the ``FIFO''
named pipe file causing the
HylaFAX queue manager process to terminate.
Note that server processes may not terminate immediately. In particular the
faxq process will not exit until any active jobs are completed; this is
necessary for proper operation (
faxq must wait for child processes to
terminate so that it can collect their exit status and update the state of the
jobs being operated on).
OPTIONS¶
- -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.
