faxrunq(1)

NAME
faxrunq - send fax jobs queued by faxspool(1)

SYNOPSIS
faxrunq

DESCRIPTION
Run the fax queue set up by faxspool(1), try to send all faxes, record result, remove job and send notify mails. faxrunq looks for all the jobs queued by faxspool(1) to @FAX_SPOOL_OUT@/*. For each job in the queue, faxrunq tries to send it, using sendfax(8). If the send succeeds, the job is removed from the queue, and a "success" mail is sent to the originator of the spooled job. If the send fails, it's logged, and faxrunq proceeds to the next job. If the job fails three times "fatally", that is, not with a locked or engaged line, but with "NO CARRIER" (no fax machine, or line noise), the job is suspended, and the requestor gets a mail, telling him so.

BUGS
faxrunq doesn't remove a successfully sent job (commented out in the source), just de-queues it. faxrunq doesn't handle time scheduling and normal resolution yet
