man faxlock (Administration système) - tell a server to switch to LOCKWAIT state
NAME
faxlock - tell a server to switch to LOCKWAIT state
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxlock [ -q dir ] modem
DESCRIPTION
faxlock sends a message to a faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to change its state to LOCKWAIT
The specified 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''.
OPTIONS
- -q dir
- Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.
NOTES
When faxgetty changes it's state to LOCKWAIT, it will start looking for the UUCP lockfile for the device, and when the device is no longer locked, proceed to re-initialize the modem.
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.
