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 getty processes spawned by the
init(8) process.
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.
