RE: flexfax: Newbie: Some faxes are partial, please help

George,

The simplest way to configure your system to run a faxgetty against ttyS1,
is to have the system load it from /etc/inittab

eg. on my RH6.0 server I have the entry:

S1:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1

in /etc/inittab that loads faxgettty when run level 5 is requested. The
"respawn" component tells the "init" process (ps ax | grep init) that if the
faxgetty process is killed to restart it.
It is therefore a matter of either building a script to, or manually, kill
the faxgetty process after you've made the change to config.ttyS1, and init
will spawn a new faxgetty process which will reread config.ttyS1!!

Regards

Matt

	Could you explain this a bit?  I had someone call saying they were
going to send a fax.  I popped in /var/spool/fax/etc/config.ttyS1 and
changed
the number of rings before answer from 12 to 1.
	They called, and it did not pick up.  What causes HylaFax to reread
the
config.ttyS# file anyhow?  So I did a
init
	in Linux to force this reread.
Thanks
George
