NAME
faxcron - FlexFAX routine maintenance script
SYNOPSIS
bin/faxcron
[
-n
]
DESCRIPTION
faxcron
is a command script that does routine upkeep tasks in a
FlexFAX spooling directory hierarchy.
This script is intended to be invoked from
cron(1M)
on behalf of the fax user once a day with the standard output sent by mail
to the FlexFAX administrator.
For example, setup the following crontab for the fax user:
25 23 * * * sh /usr/spool/fax/bin/faxcron | mail FaxMaster
faxcron does the following work:
- *
-
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 received facsimile 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.
The
-n
option forces
faxcron
to run without updating any files.
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.
