NAME

       faxquit - tell a HylaFAX server to terminate

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxquit [ -q queue-dir ] [ modem ]

DESCRIPTION

       faxquit sends a message to a HylaFAX server process telling it to quit operation.

       If  modem is specified, the faxgetty(8) 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  associated  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/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.
