Handling faxes

By giving the parameter -x to faxq -f it is possible to see if there is one particular modem which causes more faulty transmissions than any other. In such a case there is a suspicion of there being a hardware problem. This of course only applies if several lines are run.

6.8 Cleaning the statistics file

After a period of use, the statistics file may have grown to a considerable size. In order to remove parts of the contents of this file the command faxclean is used.

As an argument for faxclean it can be indicated that information up to and including a particular date should be removed in the following way:

# faxclean -to 19980420

Note that faxclean must be run on the machine where the statistics file is kept, i.e. where XFAXDIR is to be found. The user who runs faxclean must also have the authority to read and write in the file, which is normally only the system administrator (root).

This command can, to advantage, be run automatically once a day or similar using cron.
