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 configuration 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 identifier 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.

FILES

       /var/spool/hylafax                 default spooling area
       /var/spool/hylafax/FIFO            fifo for contacting faxq

       Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area.
