FAXCONFIG(8C)

NAME
       faxconfig   -  dynamically  change  HylaFAX  configuration
       parameters

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/local/sbin/faxconfig [ -q queue-dir ] [ -m modem ]  [
       parameter value  ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       faxconfig  sends  messages  to  a  HylaFAX  server process
       telling it to install new values for one or more  configu-
       ration  parameters.   These new values are maintained only
       for as long as that  server  process  executes;  to  setup
       long-lasting configuration parameters the appropriate con-
       figuration file(s) must be edited (see config(5F)).

       faxconfig is especially useful for setting certain config-
       uration  parameters  that control the operation of HylaFAX
       server processes.  For example, by manipulating the Modem-
       Priority  parameter  of one or more faxgetty(8C) processes
       it is easy to dynamically reconfigure the order  in  which
       HylaFAX will assign modems to outbound jobs.

       If  no modem is specified with the -m option, then faxcon-
       fig will send messages to the central  scheduler  process,
       faxq(8C).   If  a faxgetty process is to be contacted, the
       specified modem must be the last component of the  charac-
       ter special device filename the modem is attached to.

       Consult  the  config(5F)  for  the  list  of configuration
       parameters that can be set with faxconfig.

OPTIONS
       The following options are available:

       -m devid  Direct messages to the faxgetty process  servic-
                 ing  devid instead of the central scheduler pro-
                 cess, faxq.  The devid is an identifier  derived
                 from  the  name  of the modem's device file; for
                 example  ttym2  for  /dev/ttym2,   term_10   for
                 /dev/term/10.

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