How Can I Get The Current Status Of The FAX Job Queue?
Just send a mail to faxserver@i4fax with the subject "queue" (or "status" or
"state"):
% mail -s "queue" faxserver@i4fax < /dev/null
<>We could have omitted the IO redirection part "</dev/null" and
typed "^D" instead --- this is just to tell
mail(1) that there is no body part, that's all.
Assuming you sent a facsimile to the number +448014443211 and scheduled it
to be sent at 18:01 next Friday you could get something like this:
To: Bill Shakespeare <William.Shakespeare@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
Subject: Status Query
Date: Mon, 24 May 93 14:22:13 +0200
Your request for a status query has been processed and produced
the following results
