INTR Transmission interrupted
UNKN Unspecifiederror
Numericalerror codes above 20 means that a failure has occurred during fax data
transmission.
Some examplesof error code intervals:
20-39 Handshaking before the page failed
40-49 Faultin the transferring of data
50- Handshaking after the page failed
6.2 Reschedule a fax
Outgoingfaxes that are awaiting transmission can be “given a push”, i.e. the
transmissiontime can be set to the current time, by using the parameter -n to
faxq. E.g.:
#faxq-n3
This meansthat an attempt is made to immediately transmit the fax with ID 3.
6.3 Scheduling a fax
The transmission time for a fax can also be brought forward in tim eb y means of
the parameter-t as shown below:
# faxq -t 12:18 16
The abovechanges the transmission time for a fax with an ID of 16 to 12.18.
6.4 Canceling of a fax
A fax can be cancelled,i.e. removed from the outgoing fax queue, by means of
the command faxrm which takesone or several IDs as an argument. E.g.
# faxrm 28 12
removes faxeswith IDs 12 and 28.
Faxrm is alsoused to remove a fax from the statistic queues for sending and
faultyfaxes. When canceling such faxes, the fax is marked as having been
removed inthe statistics file, but statistic information still remains as a basis for
statistical calculations. In order to remov e old statistics completely, the com-
mand faxcleanis used, which can only be run by the system administrator.
All thefaxes in a queue can be removed by using the parameter -all queue to
faxq,where the queue can be p (outgoing), s (sending), f (faulty) or r (receiving).
These can also be combined,e.g. faxq -all sf. If you wish to remove all faxes up
to a certaindate, you use -all in combination with -to date. E.g.:
# faxq -all s -to 20010401
