FAXQUIT(8C)FAXQUIT(8C)NAMEfaxquit - tell a HylaFAX server to terminate
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxquit [ -q queue-dir ] [ modem ]
DESCRIPTIONfaxquit sends a message to a HylaFAX server process telling it to quit
operation.
If modem is specified, the faxgetty(8C) 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 particu‐
lar the faxq process will not exit until any active jobs are completed;
this is necessary for proper operation (faxq must wait for child pro‐
cesses 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/fax.
FILES
/var/spool/fax default spooling area
/var/spool/fax/FIFO fifo for contacting faxq
Consult hylafax-server(5F) for a complete discussion of the structure
and content of the spooling area.
