FAXSTAT(1)FAXSTAT(1)NAMEfaxstat - display HylaFAX status
SYNOPSISfaxstat [ options ]
DESCRIPTIONfaxstat reports the status of HylaFAX servers, including
(potentially) the status of the send, receive, done, docu
ment, and archive directories. When invoked without
options faxstat reports only the status of the server; the
options described below can be used to override this
behaviour.
Server status information indicates the state of the
server (idle, sending, receiving, etc.) and the phone
number that is associated with the fax modem.
The job queue report give the status of facsimile jobs
queued for transmission; by default:
the job identifier,
the job state (see below for the description of the a
format in the JobFmt string),
the modem or modem class the job is bound to (``any''
if the job can be sent though any modem),
the destination (phone number) of the job,
the time to send the job, or a blank field if the job
is being processed or is to be sent immediately,
the job's owner,
and status information about the job (typically the
reason why a previous attempt failed).
The receive queue report lists the facsimile documents
that have been received and are awaiting delivery; by
default it includes:
the document protection mode,
the number of pages,
the document's owner,
the phone number of the sender (if supplied),
the date and time at which the job was received, and
the filename of the document in the recvq directory on
the server machine.
OPTIONS-a Display the status of all jobs that are stored
in the archive directory on the server machine
(NB: this will always be empty for v4.0 because
there is no support for job archiving).
-d Display the status of all jobs that have com
pleted; i.e. those jobs located in the doneq
directory on the server machine. The JobFmt
string defines the content and format of infor
mation reported with this option.
-f Display the status of document files located in
the docq directory on the server machine. The
FileFmt string defines the content and format of
information reported with this option (see
below).
-g Display times and dates in Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT). NB: this is the default.
-h host Report the status of the server on a specific
host. The host may be either a symbolic name or
a network address. If no -h option is supplied,
faxstat uses the FAXSERVER environment variable
to identify the HylaFAX server to contact. If
this variable is not set, then faxstat checks
for a setting in the configuration files (first
in the per-user file and then in the system-wide
file). If all of the above fails, then faxstat
attempts to contact a server on the machine
where it is run.
-i Display additional status information for the
server as given by ${SPOOL}/status/any.info.
This status typically has information such as
the HylaFAX version, the physical location of
the server machine, and an administrative con
tact for the server. See status(${MANNUM4_5}).
-l Display times and dates in the local timezone of
the server.
-r Display the receive queue status for each
server. The RcvFmt string defines the content
and format of information reported with this
option (see below).
-s Display the status of jobs in the send queue on
the server machine. The JobFmt string defines
the content and format of information reported
with this option (see below).
-v Trace the protocol exchanges between faxstat and
the hfaxd processes on the standard output.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERSfaxstat reads configuration information from the file
${LIBDATA}/hyla.conf and then from the file ~/.hylarc.
Configuration files follow the conventions described in
hylafax-client(1). The following configuration parameters
are recognized:

JobFmt string see below format string for job status results
ModemFmt string see below format string for modem status results
Port integer 4559 port to use in contacting server
Protocol string tcp protocol to use in contacting server
RcvFmt string see below format string for received facsimile status results
TimeZone string GMT timezone to use for reporting dates and times
Verbose boolean No whether or not to enable protocol tracing
The configuration parameters are explained below:
FileFmt The format string to use when returning file
status information with the -f option. For
mats are specified using printf(3S)-style
conventions but using the field identifiers
listed below. Each item can include field
width, precision, left-justification,
0-filling, etc. just as for printf; e.g.
%-8p for an 8-character wide, left-justi
fied, blank-padded field containing the file
protection flags.

disabled, `` '' (space) if ECM use is
enabled, ``H'' if T.30 Annex C half duplex
is enabled, or ``F'' if T.30 Annex C full
duplex is enabled.
The N format produces: `` '' (space) if the
system-wide tagline format is to be used or
``P'' if a private tagline format is to be
used.
The O format produces: ``N'' if no continua
tion cover page is to be used or `` ''
(space) if the system default handling for
continuation cover pages is to be used.
The X format produces: ``F'' for a facsimile
job or ``P'' for a pager job.
The a format produces: ``?'' for a job in an
undefined state, ``T'' for a suspended job
(not being scheduled), ``P'' for a pending
job (waiting for its time to send to
arrive), ``S'' for a sleeping job (waiting
for a scheduled timeout such as a delay
between attempts to send), ``B'' for a job
blocked by concurrent activity to the same
destination, ``W'' for a job waiting for
resources such as a free modem, ``R'' for a
job that is actively running, and ``D'' for
a job that is done and was a success. ``F''
for a job that failed to complete.
The h format produces: ``D'' if page
chopping is disabled, `` '' (space) for the
system default page chop handling, ``A''
when all pages are to be chopped, or ``L''
if only the last page is to be chopped.
The n format produces: `` '' (space) when no
notification messages are to be delivered,
``D'' when notification is to be sent when
the job is done, ``Q'' when notification is
to be sent each time the job is requeued, or
``A'' when notification is to be sent for
either the job completing or being requeued.
It is recommended that all items include a
field width so that the width of column
title strings can be constrained when con
structing headers from the format string.
ModemFmt The format string to use when returning
modem status information. Formats are spec
ified using printf(3S)-style conventions but
using the field identifiers listed below.
Each item can include field width, preci
sion, left-justification, 0-filling, etc.
just as for printf; e.g. %-8h for an 8-char
acter wide, left-justified, blank-padded
field containing the name of the host the
server is running on.

(Eqvuialent to the -h option.)
Protocol The name of the communication protocol to
use when contacting a server. (Equivalent
to the FAXSERVICE environment variable.)
RcvFmt The format string to use when returning sta
tus information for the -r option. Formats
are specified using printf(3S)-style conven
tions but using the field identifiers listed
below. Each item can include field width,
precision, left-justification, 0-filling,

It is recommended that all items include a
field width so that the width of column
title strings can be constrained when con
structing headers from the format string.
TimeZone Control whether times and dates are reported
in the local timezone of the server
(``local'') or in GMT (``gmt''). By default
