AW: flexfax: MaxConcurrentJobs question

[Christoph Stotz <pif@logo.de>]

Hi!

Maybe I can explain the MaxConcurentJobs question:

With this Parameter you can avoid sending many faxes to the same
fax-machine at the same time. 
If you have to deliver 3 separate faxes to a destination, and the
destination has 1 only fax
machine, you should set MaxConcurrentJobs to 1. If your destination as a
pool with 10 fax-machines
(or a fax-server which can handle 10 incoming phone-lines) and these 10
phone-lines has the 
_same_ phone number (cascading pool), set MaxConcurrentjobs to 10.

If a fax is "blocked by concurrent job", you´ll see it using faxstat -s.

The "no assignable modem located" seems to me a problem using
destination groups and sendfax
option -h. Try "-h any@"

Betreff: flexfax: MaxConcurrentJobs question

I don't think I understand MaxConcurrentJobs config correctly. If it
controls max concurrent jobs to a destination, then what happens with
multiple destinations and multiple modems?

Suppose I have 4 modems and dialing out two different destinations. If I
have 4 jobs for each destinations,
what happens? I see in the log a msg saying "No assignable modem
located". 

Another question I have is: I have a set-up for sending out paging
requests. Without faxgetty, the jobs don't go. They just sit there in
the queue. I am queuing up the jobs(SITE JQUEUE YES) and with just
faxmodem, the jobs are not processed. I am using HylaFAX 4.0 pl1
on Irix 6.4, motorola montana modems

thanks,

nagu
