FAXQUIT(8C)

NAME
       faxquit - tell a HylaFAX server to terminate

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/local/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(8C) 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 associ-
       ated 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/fax.

FILES
       /var/spool/fax                 default spooling area
       /var/spool/fax/FIFO            fifo for contacting faxq

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