SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
When not in debug mode, faxlisten puts itself into the background and
dissociates itself from the controlling terminal.
Faxlisten is normally be invoked at boot-time from the system startup file
run by init.d.
It normally is only run manually when it is necessary to use the
Note that faxcico spawns dispatch to process incoming faxes and dispatch
examines the dispatch and action
databases to determine what to do with the incoming FAX.
FILES
faxlisten [ -d ] device
Faxlisten opens a fax modem device in listen mode and then waits for an
incoming call. After a call is received, faxlisten starts
faxcico to
receive the incoming call. The -d flag may be used to have faxlisten
generate debug output. This flag will also be passed to faxcico.
Device can be either the symbolic name of a fax device description file
(i.e. the name of a file in /opt/FAXserver/dev/*), or
the full path of the actual fax dial-in device.
-d
flag to obtain a detailed trace of an incoming fax. Note that should
two faxlisten processes be started on the same port, unpredictable results
may occur.
