NAME

       faxwatch - monitor low-level HylaFAX server actions

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxwatch [ -g ] [ -l ] [ -h host ] trigger-expression

DESCRIPTION

       faxwatch  registers  interest  in one or more events on a HylaFAX server and then prints subsequent event
       messages to the standard output.   The  faxwatch  program  is  intended  mainly  for  testing  the  event
       distribution mechanism used by the HylaFAX servers.

       The  trigger-expression  is  supplied as an argument to a ``SITE TRIGGER'' command passed to the hfaxd(8)
       The syntax for this expression is:

              [<class>['<'id'>'][<mask>|'*']]*

       where <class> defines a class of events and is one of:

       J      for job-related events,

       S      for fax send-related events,

       R      for fax receive-related events, and

       M      for modem-related events.

       A <mask> is a 4-hex-digit mask of trigger events (see the table below).  If ``*'' is specified  then  all
       events in the class are matched.

       An  <id>  can  be  used  to restrict matches to a specific job or modem.  Eventually this will need to be
       generalized for job groups.

       Thus an example specification that would catch any event for the modem on ttyf2 would  be  ``M<ttyf2>*'',
       and to be notified when job 1932 is requeued or completes one would use ``J<1932>4c60''.

       The output from faxwatch is ASCII text that describes each event.  faxwatch runs until it is interrupted.

OPTIONS

       -g        Display times and dates in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).  NB: this is the default.

       -h host   Report  the status of the server on a specific host.  The host may be either a symbolic name or
                 a network address.  If no -h option  is  supplied,  faxwatch  uses  the  FAXSERVER  environment
                 variable to identify the HylaFAX server to contact.  If this variable is not set, then faxwatch
                 checks for a setting in the configuration files (first in the per-user file  and  then  in  the
                 system-wide  file).   If  all of the above fails, then faxwatch attempts to contact a server on
                 the machine where it is run.

       -l        Display times and dates in the local timezone of the server.

       -v        Trace the protocol exchanges between faxwatch and the hfaxd processes on the standard output.
