faxq(1) 		      mgetty+sendfax manual			 faxq(1)

NAME
     faxq - display fax jobs queued by faxspool(1)

SYNOPSIS
     faxq [<command>] [-osa] [-v] [-r] [-P<job><prio>]

DESCRIPTION
     Display the fax queue set up by faxspool(1).

     faxq  looks for all the jobs queued by faxspool(1) to /var/spool/fax/outgo-
     ing/*. For each job in the queue, faxq displays  some  status  informations
     about  it.  If  no  options  are  specified, one line per queued fax job is
     printed, displaying the job number, sender, number of pages and target  fax
     number.

COMMANDS
     faxq   stop   stops   the	 fax  queue  processing  by  creating  the  file
     /var/spool/fax/outgoing/stop.  This command works only if	you  have  write
     access to the spool directory.  Depending on local setup, this means ``root
     only''  or ``fax administrator group''.  If you don't have write access, an
     error message is printed.

     faxq start re-starts a  previously  stopped  fax  queue,  by  removing  the
     ``stop'' file.  As for faxq stop this only works if you have write access.

OPTIONS
     -v     Tells  faxq  to  print  a more verbose report for each job (multiple
	    lines).

     -o     Show old jobs, already sent but still in the queue directory, too.

     -s     Show suspended jobs (stopped because of too many fatal errors during
	    sending). You can restart those jobs with faxq -r

     -a     Show all jobs (active, old, suspended).

     -r     Restart suspended jobs. Every suspended job in the queue  (that  you
	    have  write  permissions for) will be requeued.  Use faxrm to delete
	    jobs that you do not want to be sent!

     -P <job> <prio>
	    Change the priority of fax job <job> to <prio>.  Example:  "faxq  -P
	    F000247 3".

BUGS
     faxq doesn't handle time scheduling yet.

     faxq -P is currently broken (needs re-implementing with faxq-helper).
