NAME

       faxrm - remove a HylaFAX job or document from a server

SYNOPSIS

       faxrm [ -a ] [ -d ] [ -v ] [ -h hostname ] id...

DESCRIPTION

       faxrm  removes  one  or  more jobs or documents from a HylaFAX server.  If a job that is to be removed is
       being processed by a server, it is first aborted.

       An id is either a number that identifies a job (default) or, if the -d option is  specified,  a  document
       pathname.  Job identifiers are printed by sendfax(1) when jobs are queued for transmission; they can also
       be  displayed  with  faxstat(1).   The  names  of  documents associated with outbound jobs can be seen by
       supplying the -f option to faxstat.  Documents in the receive queue can be viewed with the -r  option  to
       faxstat.

       Unprivileged  users  can  only  remove  jobs  or  documents  that  they own.  Clients with administrative
       privileges can remove any job or document (see the -a option below).  The user name may be  specified  by
       the FAXUSER environment variable.

OPTIONS

       -a        Use  administrative  privileges;  faxrm  will  prompt  for  the  password to set administrative
                 privileges.

       -d        Interpret each id as a document pathname.  If a pathname does not begin with ``/''  then  faxrm
                 automatically prepends ``/docq/''.

       -h host   Contact  the server at the specified host.  The host may be either a symbolic name or a network
                 address.  If no server is specified then If no -h option is supplied, faxrm uses the  FAXSERVER
                 environment  variable  to identify the HylaFAX server to contact.  If this variable is not set,
                 then faxrm checks for a setting in the configuration files (first in the per-user file and then
                 in the system-wide file).  If all of the above fails, then faxrm attempts to contact  a  server
                 on the machine where it is run.

       -v        Trace the protocol messages to and from the server.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

       faxrm  reads  configuration  information  from  the  file  /etc/hylafax/hyla.conf  and then from the file
       ~/.hylarc.  Configuration files follow the conventions described  in  hylafax-client(1).   The  following
       configuration parameters are recognized:
       Tag               Type       Default      Description
       Host              string     localhost    host to contact for service
       PassiveMode       boolean    false        whether or not to use passive mode
       Port              integer    4559         port to use in contacting server
       Protocol          string     tcp          protocol to use in contacting server
       Verbose           boolean    No           whether or not to enable protocol tracing

       The configuration parameters are explained below:

       Host      The host to contact for service.  (Equivalent to the -h option.)

       PassiveMode
                 Whether or not to use passive mode in communication with the server.

       Port      The network port to contact for service.  (Equivalent to the -h option.)

       Protocol  The  name  of  the  communication protocol to use when contacting a server.  (Equivalent to the
                 FAXSERVICE environment variable.)

       Verbose   Control protocol tracing.  (Equivalent to the -v option.)

DIAGNOSTICS

       Job %s removed.  A confirmation that the job was successfully removed from the sendq directory.

       Job %s removed (from doneq).  A confirmation  that  the  job  was  successfully  removed  from  the  done
       directory; the directory where jobs are placed once they are finished.

       %s removed.  A confirmation that the document was successfully deleted from the server.
