NAME

       jobcontrols - per-job controls for HylaFAX servers

DESCRIPTION

       The  HylaFAX  configuration  parameter  JobControlCmd specifies the script that is used to
       apply per-job controls on job characteristics such as the time-of-day to place a call.

       The controls program should produce a simple line-based ASCII output containing  a  series
       of records of the form:
              param: value
       which  is parsed the same manner as all HylaFAX config files.  Parameter values are parsed
       exactly as specified in hylafax-config(5); i.e. values with  embedded  whitespace  may  be
       enclosed in quote marks (``"'').

       Comments are introduced with a ``#'' character and extend to the end of the line.

       The  order  of entries in the output is important.  The last parameter value overrides any
       previous values.  If the requested parameter is defined in the output, then the last value
       is returned, otherwise a default value is used from the faxq configuration file.

       The  following  parameters  may be specified on a per-job basis; consult hylafax-config(5)
       for a description of each parameter (except RejectNotice which is described below).
       Tag                   Type       Default      Description
       MaxConcurrentCalls    integer    1            max concurrent jobs to process for a destination
       MaxDials              integer    unlimited    max phone calls to make to transmit a job
       MaxSendPages          integer    unlimited    max pages to permit in a send
       MaxTries              integer    3            max attempts to transmit a job
       Modem                 string     Any          ModemGroup to use for destination
       RejectNotice          string     -            rejection notice for transmit job
       TimeOfDay             string     Any          default time-of-day restrictions
       VRes                  integer    -            Vertical resolution
       UseXVRes              integer    -            Usage of extended resolutions

       The Modem parameter controls which ModemGroup is used in sending faxes to the destination.
       If  the  user assigns a ModemGroup for a specific job where all modems are outside of this
       ModemGroup matching a destination, then the value of Modem is  overridden  by  the  user's
       assignment.  Likewise, if the user assigns a ModemGroup for a specific job where some, but
       not all, of the modems are included in this ModemGroup matching a  destination,  then  the
       value of Modem is overridden by the inclusive set of modems found in both.

       The  RejectNotice  parameter  controls  whether  or not to reject jobs to the destination.
       Jobs that are rejected are done so without placing a phone call and the associated message
       is returned to the job submitter.  This facility can be used to disallow calling sensitive
       phone numbers; for example
           RejectNotice: "Calls to emergency numbers are not permitted"

       The VRes parameter controls the  vertical  resolution.  Possible  values  are  98  (normal
       resolution,  equivalent  to  sendfax  -l  option)  and 196 (fine resolution, equivalent to
       sendfax -m option).

       The UseXVRes parameter is used to enable or disable  the  usage  of  extended  resolutions
       supported  by  the  receiver.  Possible  values  are 1 (enable extended resolutions usage,
       equivalent to sendfax -G  option)  and  0  (disable  extended  resolutions  usage).   This
       parameter supersedes the usage of VRes.

       In  addition  to  the  above  parameters,  any  other  parameters  that  are specified are
       automatically accumulated and passed to programs invoked by  faxq,  such  as  faxsend  and
       pagesend.   This  is  a convenient mechanism for defining configuration parameters for all
       modems without having to modify each modem-specific configuration file.  For example,
           SessionTracing: 0x4f

       This mechanism also makes it easy to control transmit-related parameters according to  the
       destination  phone  number.   For example, to disable use of ECM and restrict the transmit
       speed when placing international phone calls one might use:
           DesiredBR: 3
           DesiredEC: 0
           DesiredDF: 1
