FAXQ(8C)							      FAXQ(8C)

NAME
       faxq - HylaFAX queue manager process

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/fax/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  initiating	 outbound  facsimile jobs (and
       potentially other types of jobs as well).

       faxq may be run by itself to provide outbound-only services 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 fax‐
       modem  to  specify modems; instead the programs communicate information
       about the status and capabilities of each modem.	 The latter setup pro‐
       vides 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 administrative programs such as faxquit(8C).

       Many aspects of faxq operation may be controlled through	 a  configura‐
       tion  file.   This  file is located in the spooler hierarchy in the etc
       subdirectory and is named config (as opposed to the per-modem  configu‐
       ration	files  named  config.devid);  consult  hylafax-config(5F)  for
       detailed information on this configuration file.	 Note that faxq	 auto‐
       matically  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 configuration file if the file is re-read.

OPTIONS
       -q dir	 The specified directory is treated as the spooling area.  The
		 default spooling area, /var/spool/fax, is defined at the time
		 the software 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  disassociate  itself  from the controlling tty.
		 This option is useful for debugging.

FILES
       /var/spool/fax/FIFO	    FIFO special file for submitting commands
       /var/spool/fax/etc/config    configuration file

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