FAXABORT(8C)FAXABORT(8C)NAMEfaxabort - tell a HylaFAX server to abort a receive
SYNOPSIS
/usr/contrib/bin/faxabort [ -q dir ] modem
DESCRIPTIONfaxabort sends a message to a HylaFAX faxgetty(8C) process
servicing modem telling it to abort any active receive
operation.
The specified 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''.
Note that to abort a send operation the faxrm(1) command
must be used.
OPTIONS-q dir Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/fax.
NOTES
On some systems it is not possible to abort a received
facsimile because of problems in the operating system; on
such systems the message sent by faxabort will be
(silently) ignored.
FILES
/var/spool/fax default spooling area
