Handling faxes

6. Handling faxes

The fax system contains a number of commands for handling faxes and fax queues. A description is given below of what can be done by using these com- mands. Generally, commands are run which affect a fax using the fax’s ID num- ber as an argument. The ID number can be found with the aid of the command faxq.

6.1 Fax queues

The system separates faxes into four different queues, which can be shown by giving the parameters shown below as an argument to the command faxq.

Argument	Queue
none, -p	Outgoing faxes
-r	Incoming faxes
-s	Transmitted faxes
-f	Not transmitted due to a failure
E.g.:

#faxq
