DFfaxq reports on the status of requested faxes, either by their fax IDs, or by all faxes owned by the user(s) specified. When invoked with no arguments, DFfaxq reports on all faxes in the queue. For each outgoing fax, DFfaxq reports the unique fax ID number (by which it is referred to when using DFfaxrm), the user name of the fax owner, the scheduled time of sending, the file to be sent, the current status of the entry in the queue, the number of attempts at sending, and the phone number (or email address) to be sent to.
In the case of a fax that is being sent to multiple recipients, the fax ID, owner, scheduled time, and file to be sent, are all displayed on the first line together with the status, attempt, and phone number/email address of the first recipient. For the second and subsequent recipients, only the status, attempt and phone number/email address are displayed. The possible status values are:
New: in queue and waiting for scheduled
time to arrive
Sending: in process of being sent to
recipient
Retry: in queue as previous tries have
failed and waiting for retry delay to expire
Sent: successfully sent to recipient
Failed: failed and maximum number of
retries was exceeded
If the recipient is an email address, the only possible status values are
Sending or Sent.
It is not possible to reliably track the delivery status of an email message
and so the other statuses cannot be reported.
DFfaxq displays the queue information sorted by increasing fax ID#.
