QDEL(1)

NAME
qdel - Qfax fax spool job deleter for efax

SYNOPSIS
qdel [ -a | prefix ]

DESCRIPTION
qdel allows users to effectively cancel a fax they've spooled via qfax or qsend by deleting it from the outgoing fax spool. Users can only delete their own faxes (except root, of course).

OPTIONS
a deletes all faxes owned by the user, or all faxes in the spool if the user is root. prefix deletes the fax with the stated ID prefix, if it belongs to the user, or the user is root.

FAX ID PREFIX
A fax is uniquely identified by its prefix , which is always of the form: fax.<senderid>.<timestamp> e.g. "fax.joe.07Sep165403". In order to determine the ID prefix of a fax, use the qstat command.

DIAGNOSTICS
qdel acknowledges successful deletions with a response similar to: Removed fax <prefix>. Failed attempts due to permission problems generate: <prefix> : Permission denied.
