[hylafax-users] Hylafax faxd crash.




Hi guys,

I'm using hylafax 4.2.1 under AIX 5.2.

I had an issue with faxd yesterday - it crashed. Unfortunately I don't know C++ at all so I can't really chase down the problem, but I retrieved the call stack in case it is of any use to anyone... See below. I still have the core file in case someone who is familiar with the code wants me to suck out some further information.

$ dbx /usr/local/sbin/faxq

One thing that concerned me though was that when I found the problem, I stopped hylafax (./hylafax stop) and started it up again (./hylafax start). I then ran faxmodem to  re-inform hylafax of my modems ( that's right - we're not running faxgetty). The problem is that jobs that were present prior to the crash were not acted on, they were stuck in the list - only new jobs were passed through to the modems.

I ended up having to remove the jobs and ask our users to re-send their data ( we can do this in our environment). This is a bad solution though, is there some way that I could have got those jobs going again ?

Any help appreciated with this..
