FAXANSWER(8) System Manager's Manual FAXANSWER(8) NAME
faxanswer - tell a HylaFAX server to answer the telephone SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxanswer [ -q queue-dir ] [ -h how ] modem DESCRIPTION
faxanswer sends a message to the HylaFAX faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to answer the telephone. This is useful, for exam- ple, when a modem is used on a shared phone line and the server is configured to not normally answer the phone. 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''. OPTIONS
-q dir Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax. -h Specify exactly how the phone should be answered. By default, the server process is instructed to answer the phone and accept any kind of call (voice, data, fax). Discrimination of the type of call is dependent on a modem's adaptive-answer support. The -h option can be used to force the server to answer the phone for particular type of call: one of fax, data, voice, any, extern (to force faxgetty to invoke an external application to to handle the call), or dialX (where X is a dialstring to dial before initiating a fax reception). If using dialX, the specified dialstring will likely need to end with a semicolon (``;''). FILES

FAXCONFIG(8) System Manager's Manual FAXCONFIG(8) NAME
faxconfig - dynamically change HylaFAX configuration parameters SYNOPSIS
/usr/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 configuration 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 hylafax-config(5)). faxconfig is especially useful for setting certain configuration parameters that control the operation of HylaFAX server processes. For example, by manipulating the ModemPriority parameter of one or more faxgetty(8) 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 faxconfig will send messages to the central scheduler process, faxq(8). If a faxgetty process is to be contacted, the specified modem must be the last component of the character special device filename the modem is attached to. Consult the hylafax-config(5) 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 servicing devid instead of the central scheduler process, faxq. The devid is an identi- fier 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/hylafax.
