NAME
       faxcron - HylaFAX routine maintenance script

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/faxcron [ -n ] [ -l lastrun ]

DESCRIPTION
       faxcron is a command script that does routine upkeep tasks in a HylaFAX
       spooling directory hierarchy.  This script is intended  to  be  invoked
       from  cron(8C)  on  behalf  of  the fax user (often the ``fax'' user is
       uucp) once a day, with the standard output sent by mail to the  HylaFAX
       administrator.	For example, the following crontab might be set up for
       the fax user:
	 25   23    *	 *    *	  sh /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail FaxMaster

       The faxcron script does the following work:

       ·  report statistics for facsimile transmitted since the last time fax‐
	  cron was run.

       ·  report statistics for facsimile transmitted in the past week.

       ·  report statistics for facsimile received since the last time faxcron
	  was run.

       ·  report statistics for facsimile received in the past week.

       ·  report any recent calls that	failed	suspiciously  and  return  the
	  associated trace log;

       ·  purge data that is 30 days or older from the remote machine informa‐
	  tion directory;

       ·  delete information that is 30 days or older from session  trace  log
	  files;

       ·  remove files from the tmp directory that are older than 1 day;

       ·  remove  files	 in  the  received  facsimile queue that are 7 days or
	  older;

       ·  report sites that are currently having jobs rejected; and

       ·  force all session log files to be owned by the  fax  user  and  kept
	  with protection mode 644.

OPTIONS
       -n	 Forces faxcron to run without updating any files.

       -l lastrun
		 Forces the notion of the last time that faxcron was run to be
		 lastrun.  The value of lastrun is a date and time  string  of
		 the  form  ``MM/DD/YY HH:MM'' (the date(1) format string ``%D
		 %H:%M'').

       -info n	 Set the expiration time for data in the info database to be n
		 days.

       -log n	 Set the expiration time for session log data to be n days.

       -rcv n	 Set  the  expiration time for files in the received facsimile
		 queue to be n days.

       -tmp n	 Set the expiration time for files in the tmp directory to  be
		 n days.

       -mode m	 Set the file protection mode for session logs to m (a command
		 line argument to chmod(1)).

NOTES
       This script requires nawk(1) or gawk(1) and a  date  (1)	 program  that
       supports the ``+format'' option.

       If  session logs are to be kept private this script must be modified to
       filter out sensitive information such as	 calling  card	numbers.   (It
       should  also  be	 run with ``-mode 0600'' so that session log files are
       not publicly readable.)

FILES
       /var/spool/hylafax		      spooling area
       /var/spool/hylafax/etc/lastrun	      timestamp of last run
       /usr/sbin/xferfaxstats		      for generating transmit statistics
       /usr/sbin/recvstats		      for generating receive statistics
       /var/spool/hylafax/tmp/faxcronXXXX     temporary file for truncating session logs
       /var/spool/hylafax/tmp/faxlogXXXX      temporary file for logs of failed calls
