NAME
faxstat - display HylaFAX status
SYNOPSIS
faxstat [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
faxstat reports the status of HylaFAX servers, including (potentially) the status of the send, receive,
done, document, and archive directories. When invoked without options faxstat reports only the status of
the server; the options described below can be used to override this behaviour.
Server status information indicates the state of the server (idle, sending, receiving, etc.) and the
phone number that is associated with the fax modem.
The job queue report give the status of facsimile jobs queued for transmission; by default:
• the job identifier,
• the job state (see below for the description of the a format in the JobFmt string),
• the modem or modem class the job is bound to (``any'' if the job can be sent though any modem),
• the destination (phone number) of the job,
• the time to send the job, or a blank field if the job is being processed or is to be sent immediately,
• the job's owner,
• and status information about the job (typically the reason why a previous attempt failed).
The receive queue report lists the facsimile documents that have been received and are awaiting delivery;
by default it includes:
• the document protection mode,
• the number of pages,
• the document's owner,
• the phone number of the sender (if supplied),
• the date and time at which the job was received, and
• the filename of the document in the recvq directory on the server machine.
OPTIONS
-a Display the contents of the archive directory on the server machine
-d Display the status of all jobs that have completed; i.e. those jobs located in the doneq
directory on the server machine. The JobFmt string defines the content and format of
information reported with this option.
-f Display the status of document files located in the docq directory on the server machine. The
FileFmt string defines the content and format of information reported with this option (see
below).
-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, faxstat uses the FAXSERVER environment
variable to identify the HylaFAX server to contact. If this variable is not set, then faxstat
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 faxstat attempts to contact a server on the
machine where it is run.
-i Display additional status information for the server as given by
/var/spool/hylafax/status/any.info. This status typically has information such as the HylaFAX
version, the physical location of the server machine, and an administrative contact for the
server. See status(5).
-l Display times and dates in the local timezone of the server.
-r Display the receive queue status for each server. The RcvFmt string defines the content and
format of information reported with this option (see below).
-s Display the status of jobs in the send queue on the server machine. The JobFmt string defines
the content and format of information reported with this option (see below).
-v Trace the protocol exchanges between faxstat and the hfaxd processes on the standard output.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
faxstat reads configuration information from the file /etc/hylafax/hyla.conf and then from the file
~/.hylarc. Configuration files follow the conventions described in hylafax-client(1). The following
configuration parameters are recognized:
Tag Type Default Description
FileFmt string see below format string for file status results
Host string localhost host to contact for service
JobFmt string see below format string for job status results
ModemFmt string see below format string for modem status results
PassiveMode boolean false whether or not to use passive mode
Port integer 4559 port to use in contacting server
Protocol string tcp protocol to use in contacting server
RcvFmt string see below format string for received facsimile status results
TimeZone string GMT timezone to use for reporting dates and times
Verbose boolean No whether or not to enable protocol tracing
The configuration parameters are explained below:
FileFmt The format string to use when returning file status information with the -f option.
Formats are specified using printf(3S)-style conventions but using the field identifiers
listed below. Each item can include field width, precision, left-justification, 0-filling,
etc. just as for printf; e.g. %-8p for an 8-character wide, left-justified, blank-padded
field containing the file protection flags.

Formats are specified using printf(3S)-style conventions but using the field identifiers
listed below. Each item can include field width, precision, left-justification, 0-filling,
etc. just as for printf; e.g. %-3j for a 3-character wide, left-justified, blank-padded
field containing the job state.

The K format produces: ``D'' if ECM is to be disabled, `` '' (space) if ECM use is enabled,
``H'' if T.30 Annex C half duplex is enabled, or ``F'' if T.30 Annex C full duplex is
enabled.
The N format produces: `` '' (space) if the system-wide tagline format is to be used or
``P'' if a private tagline format is to be used.
The O format produces: ``N'' if no continuation cover page is to be used or `` '' (space)
if the system default handling for continuation cover pages is to be used.
The X format produces: ``F'' for a facsimile job or ``P'' for a pager job.
The a format produces: ``?'' for a job in an undefined state, ``T'' for a suspended job
(not being scheduled), ``P'' for a pending job (waiting for its time to send to arrive),
``S'' for a sleeping job (waiting for a scheduled timeout such as a delay between attempts
to send), ``B'' for a job blocked by concurrent activity to the same destination, ``W'' for
a job waiting for resources such as a free modem, ``R'' for a job that is actively running,
and ``D'' for a job that is done and was a success. ``F'' for a job that failed to
complete.
The h format produces: ``D'' if page chopping is disabled, `` '' (space) for the system
default page chop handling, ``A'' when all pages are to be chopped, or ``L'' if only the
last page is to be chopped.
The n format produces: `` '' (space) when no notification messages are to be delivered,
``D'' when notification is to be sent when the job is done, ``Q'' when notification is to
be sent each time the job is requeued, or ``A'' when notification is to be sent for either
the job completing or being requeued.
It is recommended that all items include a field width so that the width of column title
strings can be constrained when constructing headers from the format string.
ModemFmt The format string to use when returning modem status information. Formats are specified
using printf(3S)-style conventions but using the field identifiers listed below. Each item
can include field width, precision, left-justification, 0-filling, etc. just as for printf;
e.g. %-8h for an 8-character wide, left-justified, blank-padded field containing the name
of the host the server is running on.
Format Description

v Modem speaker volume as one-character symbol
z A ``*'' if a faxgetty(8) process is running; otherwise `` '' (space)
PassiveMode
Whether or not to use passive mode in communication with the server.
Port The network port to contact for service. (Equivalent to the -h option.)
Protocol The name of the communication protocol to use when contacting a server. (Equivalent to the
FAXSERVICE environment variable.)
RcvFmt The format string to use when returning status information for the -r option. Formats are
specified using printf(3S)-style conventions but using the field identifiers listed below.
Each item can include field width, precision, left-justification, 0-filling, etc. just as
for printf; e.g. %-3b for a 3-character wide, left-justified, blank-padded field containing
the signalling rate.

It is recommended that all items include a field width so that the width of column title
strings can be constrained when constructing headers from the format string.
TimeZone Control whether times and dates are reported in the local timezone of the server
(``local'') or in GMT (``gmt''). By default times are reported in GMT.
Verbose Control protocol tracing. (Equivalent to the -v option.)
NOTES
The server login user name may be specified by the FAXUSER environment variable.
BUGS
There is no way to suppress the server status report. There is no way to control the printing of
headers.
