6. Handling faxes
The fax system contains a number of commands for handling faxes and fax
queues. A description is given below of what can be done by using these com-
mands. Generally, commands are run which affect a fax using the fax’s ID num-
ber as an argument. The ID number can be found with the aid of the command
faxq.
6.1 Fax queues
The system separates faxes into four different queues, which can be shown by
giving the parameters shown below as an argument to the command faxq.
