Topic: How to remove a modem from Hylafax configuration

[Pierre Boucher]

Hi!

I got Hylafax running perfectly for reception and transmission... good.

My only problem now, i keep receiving email from " The HylaFAX Receive Agent   modem on /dev/ttyS0 appears wedged", my configuration is working fine on /dev/modem how can i get rid of these email i receive every minutes or so

Thanks again for your help

delete /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config.ttyS0
then :
service hylafax stop
service hylafax start

or simply reboot.

That should be enough...
(You may have to redo a faxsetup -server if not)

I don't have   /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config.ttyS0
i only find config.modem

And this is the message i'm receiving every minutes or so

Subject:   modem on /dev/ttyS0 appears wedged

The HylaFAX software thinks that there is a problem with the modem
on device /dev/ttyS0 that needs attention; repeated attempts to
initialize the modem have failed.

Consult the server trace logs for more information on what is happening.

Any ideas?

Then try to look at the rights of /dev/ttyS0 and compare with /dev/modem, if your modem is on COM1 (ttyS0), the two are linked and must have the same rights.
If not, run a chmod to correct it.

Hope this helps.

p.s: if not, make a
tail /var/log/messages
as soon as the message appear and post it here..

/dev/modem is linked to /dev/ttyS1

There is nothing on ttyS0 but hylafax is trying to open it because it's in the configuration.

I forgot the log

Well. Could you tell us on which physical port is actually your modem ?
if it is on ttyS1 for instance, then drop the link (rm -rf /dev/modem) ans run a faxaddmodem on ttyS1 for instance, it will recreate the link with the correct tty..
You should visit the hylafax (www.hylafax.org) and look at the archived mailing list, there may be an another solution.

I tried but it look like that every config done with faxaddmodem are staying in the configuration. After i did that i started receiving message about /modem and /ttyS0
every minutes or so.

I put back the link modem to ttyS1, there is probably a place where i can remove older modem configuration from hylafax. Now i'm still receiving 1 msg/minute


Thanks
Pierre

There is a line in /etc/inittab:

fax:23457:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0

Delete or out comment, that should help as far as i remember.
Don't forget to change the template.
