FAXSTATE(8C)							  FAXSTATE(8C)

NAME
       faxstate - control ``modem state'' of a device used by HylaFAX

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/faxstate [ -q queue-dir ] [ -s state ] [ -n ] modem

DESCRIPTION
       faxstate	 sends a message to the HylaFAX faxgetty(8C) process servicing
       modem telling it to use the specified state when notifying the  HylaFAX
       scheduler  that a modem is ready and available for use.	This is useful
       for controlling outbound use of a modem; by marking a modem's state  as
       busy,  down,  or	 exempt the HylaFAX scheduler will not assign any out‐
       bound jobs to the modem.	 See hylafax-config(5F) under  ModemReadyState
       for a description of the differences between these states.

       The  specified  modem can either be the name (typically the last compo‐
       nent 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  the	-n option, faxstate emulates what faxgetty would do; sending a
       message directly to the faxq process marking the specified modem	 down,
       busy, or ready.	This interface is useful for send-only environments in
       which faxgetty processes are not used.  Note that modems manipulated in
       this  way  must	previously  have been configured with the faxmodem(8C)
       program.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -n	 Contact faxq directly instead of faxgetty.

       -q dir	 Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/fax.

       -s state	 Specify the state to send the	faxq  process  each  time  the
		 modem	becomes	 ready for use; one of ``busy'', ``down'', and
		 ``ready''.  The default state to use is ready.

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