Re: [hylafax-users] Hylafax stops responding every 3 to 4 days

["Kulraj Gurm" <kulraj@microbiz.net>]

Any idea's anyone on how to avoid this random occurence?
PID 15213 is the culprit in this instance?
Even an idea of where to look would be appreciated.
Also, is there any other information I can provide to help you to help me.
Reaching desperation point this list is the only place to turn.

Yesterday I eliminated the possibility of bad modem - its has now been
changed.

ps -ax :-

13446  ??  I      0:01.82 /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty /dev/ttyd1 ttyd1
13531  ??  Is     0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/faxq
13533  ??  Is     0:00.02 /usr/local/sbin/hfaxd -i 4559 -o 4557 -s 444
15213  d1  Is+    0:00.00 getty -h ttyd1 dx_38400

Original post :

We have a hylafax server (on FreeBSD 4.3) used primarily for receiving
faxes, very low volume - at most 20 per day. However every third or fourth
day faxes are no longer received, until I restart the the hylafax server!

ps -ax - on fresh reboot includes :

  278  ??  Is     0:00.03 /usr/local/sbin/faxq
  280  ??  Is     0:00.02 /usr/local/sbin/hfaxd -i 4559 -o 4557 -s 444
  300  ??  I      0:03.37 /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty /dev/ttyd1 tt

However, ps -ax when hylafax stops responding includes one other pertinent
line :

 5353  d1  Is+    0:00.00 getty -h ttyd1 dx_38400

This is always the case - I am therefore assuming that a process has hung
somewhere, but how do I resolve this so it doesn't continually recur? And
killing this pid is not adequate to get things going again. However, if
after killing the getty pid, I kill faxq & hfaxd and then relaunch these -
things return to normal.

I am loading hylafax from rc.local using the following parameters :

#Hylafax
/usr/local/sbin/faxq
/usr/local/sbin/hfaxd -i 4559 -o 4557 -s 444

TIA, Regards,
