FAXQUIT(8C)FAXQUIT(8C)NAMEfaxquit - tell a HylaFAX server to terminate
SYNOPSIS
/usr/contrib/bin/faxquit [ -q queue-dir ] [ modem ]
DESCRIPTIONfaxquit sends a message to a HylaFAX server process
telling it to quit operation.
If modem is specified, the faxgetty(8C) process servicing
the specified modem is notified. 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 associ-
ated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.
If no modem is specified, faxquit will send the request to
the ``FIFO'' named pipe file causing the HylaFAX queue
manager process to terminate.
Note that server processes may not terminate immediately.
In particular the faxq process will not exit until any
active jobs are completed; this is necessary for proper
operation (faxq must wait for child processes to terminate
so that it can collect their exit status and update the
state of the jobs being operated on).
OPTIONS-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-server(5F) for a complete discussion of
the structure and content of the spooling area.
