NAME
faxabort - tell a HylaFAX server to abort a receive
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxabort
[
-qdir
]
modem
DESCRIPTION
faxabort
sends a message to a HylaFAXfaxgetty(8)
process servicing
modem
telling it to abort any active receive operation.
The specified
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 associated
FIFO
named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.
Note that to abort a send operation the
faxrm(1)
command must be used.
OPTIONS
-q dir
Use a spooling area other than
/var/spool/hylafax.
NOTES
On some systems it is not possible to abort a received facsimile
because of problems in the operating system; on such systems the
message sent by
faxabort
will be (silently) ignored.
