FAXQ(8C)						 FAXQ(8C)

NAME
       faxq - HylaFAX queue manager process

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/contrib/lib/hylafax/faxq [ -D ] [ -q queue-dir ]

DESCRIPTION
       faxq  is the central queueing agent for HylaFAX.	 One (and
       only one) faxq process is normally running at  all  times.
       faxq  is responsible for scheduling, preparing, and initi-
       ating outbound facsimile jobs (and potentially other types
       of jobs as well).

       faxq  may  be  run by itself to provide outbound-only ser-
       vices  or  it  may  be  run  together  with  one	 or  more
       faxgetty(8C)  processes,	 in  which  case inbound services
       (e.g. receiving facsimile) are provided.	 When faxq is run
       by  itself  the	set of available modems must be specified
       using the faxmodem(8C) command.	Each modem  specified  in
       this way is assumed to exist and to be capable of use as a
       facsimile modem.	 When faxq is  run  in	conjunction  with
       faxgetty processes, it is not necessary to use faxmodem to
       specify modems; instead the programs communicate	 informa-
       tion about the status and capabilities of each modem.  The
       latter setup provides a more robust  and	 powerful  system
       and is the intended way for the software to operate.

       faxq  receives  notification  of	 outbound jobs to process
       from the hfaxd(8C) process that implements the server-side
       of  the	HylaFAX	 client-server protocol.  Notification is
       through messages sent to a FIFO	special	 file  that  faxq
       listens	to.   This file is also used by other administra-
       tive programs such as faxquit(8C).

       Many aspects of faxq operation may be controlled through a
       configuration  file.   This file is located in the spooler
       hierarchy in the etc subdirectory and is named config  (as
       opposed	to  the	 per-modem configuration files named con-
       fig.devid); consult config(5F) for detailed information on
       this configuration file.	 Note that faxq automatically re-
       reads its configuration file if it has been  changed.   It
       is  also	 possible  to  dynamically  change  configuration
       parameters in a running	process	 with  the  faxconfig(8C)
       program.	  Beware  however that parameters changed in this
       way will be reset to the values specified in the	 configu-
       ration file if the file is re-read.

OPTIONS
       -q dir	 The specified directory is treated as the spool-
		 ing   area.	The   default	spooling    area,
		 /var/spool/fax, is defined at the time the soft-
		 ware is built.

       -D	 This option forces faxq to  remain  attached  to

		 the  controlling  tty from which it was invoked.
		 In normal operation faxq will fork(2)	and  dis-
		 sassociate  itself  from  the	controlling  tty.
		 This option is useful for debugging.

FILES

       /var/spool/fax/etc/config    configuration file

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