NAME

       wedged - HylaFAX modem wedged script

SYNOPSIS

       /var/spool/hylafax/bin/wedged devid device

DESCRIPTION

       bin/wedged  is  the  command  script  invoked  by the facsimile server when a modem is deemed to be in an
       irreparable state and requires operator intervention.  This decision is  based  on  the  setting  of  the
       MaxSetupAttempts configuration parameter described in hylafax-config(5).  The default wedged script sends
       electronic  mail  to  the FaxMaster alias. The interval at which emails are sent can be configured in the
       etc/FaxDispatch file by setting the WEDGED_EMAIL_INTERVAL variable  to  the  desired  number  of  minutes
       (emails  will  be  sent  no  more  than  every  WEDGED_EMAIL_INTERVAL minutes, until the wedged condition
       persists).  If the variable WEDGED_DISABLE_FAXGETTY is  set  in  etc/FaxDispatch  then  the  script  will
       attempt  to  disable any faxgetty processes spawned by the init(8) process for the problematic modem.  In
       addition the faxq(8) process automatically disables use of the modem for servicing outbound jobs.

       The devid argument is the identifier derived from the name of the modem's  device  file  by  substituting
       ``_''  characters  for ``/'' characters; e.g.  term_10 for /dev/term/10.  The device argument is the name
       of the character special device associated with the modem.

       If there exists an executable file /var/spool/hylafax/etc/resetmodem then that file will be executed upon
       execution of the wedged script in an effort to recover the modem.
