NAME
faxcron - Hyla FAX routine maintenance script
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxcron [ -n ] [ -l lastrun ]
DESCRIPTION
faxcron is a command script that does routine upkeep tasks in a Hyla FAX spooling directory hierarchy. This script is intended to be invoked from cron (8) on behalf of the fax user (often the ‘‘fax’’ user is uucp) once a day, with the standard output sent by mail to the Hyla FAX administrator. For example, the following crontab might be set up for the fax user:
25 23 * * * sh /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail FaxMaster
The faxcron script does the following work:
|
• |
report statistics for facsimile transmitted since the last time faxcron was run. |
||
|
• |
report statistics for facsimile transmitted in the past week. |
||
|
• |
report statistics for facsimile received since the last time faxcron was run. |
||
|
• |
report statistics for facsimile received in the past week. |
||
|
• |
report any recent calls that failed suspiciously and return the associated trace log; |
||
|
• |
purge data that is 30 days or older from the remote machine information directory; |
||
|
• |
delete information that is 30 days or older from session trace log files; |
||
|
• |
remove files from the tmp directory that are older than 1 day; |
||
|
• |
remove files in the received facsimile queue that are 7 days or older; |
||
|
• |
report sites that are currently having jobs rejected; and |
||
|
• |
force all session log files to be owned by the fax user and kept with protection mode 644. |
OPTIONS
|
-n |
Forces faxcron to run without updating any files. |
-l lastrun
Forces the notion of the last time that faxcron was run to be lastrun . The value of lastrun is a date and time string of the form ‘‘MM/DD/YY HH:MM’’ (the date (1) format string ‘‘%D %H:%M’’).
|
-info n |
Set the expiration time for data in the info database to be n days. |
||
|
-log n |
Set the expiration time for session log data to be n days. |
||
|
-rcv n |
Set the expiration time for files in the received facsimile queue to be n days. |
||
|
-tmp n |
Set the expiration time for files in the tmp directory to be n days. |
||
|
-mode m |
Set the file protection mode for session logs to m (a command line argument to chmod (1)). |
NOTES
This script requires nawk (1) or gawk (1) and a date (1) program that supports the ‘‘+format’’ option.
If session logs are to be kept private this script must be modified to filter out sensitive information such as calling card numbers. (It should also be run with ‘‘-mode 0600’’ so that session log files are not publicly readable.)
