You probably could have just rebooted and HylaFAX would have started 
processing the queues again upon restarting.

There is in hfaxd-speak, but there is no common tool for it.  Phil 
Abercrombie had (1997) a perl tool circulating out there for a long time 
that did this.  It's something that really just needs to get integrated 
into sendfax.
